These are some very nice exercises. However the difficulty level of the exercises is geared toward the more experienced pit. I found them to be much too difficult for my relatively young and less experienced pit. The one thing that this book (and "Up Front" resource) lacks is technique information and exercises for the electronic piano/synthesizer. With the growing use of these in marching bands and drum corps today, I think this would be a fitting addition to this resource. As a non piano player, I find it somewhat difficult to write exercises that are 100% appropriate for them. I hope to see some more information on this in the future. But I still give a 5/5 for this because it's still a great resource and great exercises that can be used for the intermediate to advanced pit.
