Roots of Rhythm Extensions
World Drumming for 5th and 6th Grade Classrooms
References
Introduction
The research for the Roots of Rhythm Extensions was based on references that included books,
articles, websites, DVD’s, CD’s, and personal interviews. This list is not intended to be a
comprehensive bibliography, but instead a practical mix of sources. The project was also based,
in part, on the experience of the author in the field of world percussion for over forty years.
Some works were out of print and in the author’s library, while other references were common in
the fifth and sixth grade school library. Websites were used when considered authoritative or
otherwise important for the project. Those sites with photographs, maps, art, musical notation,
and/or sound samples are noted at the end of the address, otherwise the address only has
descriptive information. For some instruments, sounds can be heard either as sound samples
online or in some cases, on CD’s or DVD’s available in stores, online and/or purchased directly
from individual performer(s) or groups. There were several interviews and contacts with experts
in the field that were extremely helpful and I wish to extend my gratitude for their kind
assistance.
