An Autobiographical Bibliography of Percussion Music

Larrick, a percussionist and teacher, presents an annotated bibliography of articles, some relating to music and percussion, but the majority in subjects outside of music, such as psychology, education, medicine, social sciences, and physical science. Several of the articles are by the author. The autobiographical component is found in the author’s relating anecdotes about his life in his descriptions of the contents of the articles, so the reader learns more about the author than the actual articles. A sampling of French opera, college music programs, adolescent health, corporate responsibility, tuna, and obesity. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
