# *Teaching Percussion* by Gary D. Cook The *Teaching Percussion* text is a seminal work by renown percussion pedagogue [[Gary D. Cook]]—the mentor of our program's founding professor and former adjunct faculty who advised in the architecture of UNLV Percussion's Graduate Program. This book contains information and reference material on virtually every meaningful topic relevant to the craft of modern percussion and the fundamentals of teaching it. All UNLV percussionists must have a copy of this text for regular reference and use as a future source for guidance after studies have concluded.
