Ibm Usb Serial Parallel Adapter 22p9036. I use Finale for transcriptions and do transcribe specific songs for students, like before a recital or concert, or if it's something they're really going to get a lot out of.

Basically all essentials. I'd add David Garibaldi's future sounds, and gavin harrison's rhytmic illusions to this list, for extra fun Thank you! I have also used Future Sounds with a couple who express additional interest in that genre but it's only been a few. Though, the book helps much more than just that genre for sure.

I'm glad someone else is familiar with Keith Copeland book. I took a few private lessons with him as well as sat in for 3 years during a summer camp he used to give locally.

So most of you guys use the notebook approach, do you actually write out the exercises (i.e, notation) or is it more of just a list of things to practice? Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to check out a number of them. The Wilcoxin book looks like a good one:) What version of Finale do you guys use? I tried the most basic one, it wasn't much use, but I imagine the better versions have more functionality? Finale Notepad (the $10 version) seemed worthless to me. The next step up, Song Writer ($50) does everything I need it to for drum stuff. Which is the best book for learning to read music and rhythmic theory, with explanations of note values, time signatures, etc?
