Tom's Tool Shed

Tom's Tool Shed is an educational composition intended to teach the application of simple rhythmic combinations to beginners while learning to perform on nontraditional instruments. A tribute to any do-it-yourselfer, the musicians pass around theme ideas between nontraditional instruments such as metal pipes, glass jars and unmounted triangles, all around the centerpiece of four concert toms (hence the title). While only five players are required, this piece is intended to allow for most parts to be doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled to accommodate extra players!

This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.
