"I highly recommend the Two Rivers Timpani Summit! This event is PERFECT for anyone wishing to expand their knowledge of timpani playing and other related topics. Alison Shaw and Bill Shaltis offer an incredibly fun and nurturing environment that includes plenty of 'hands-on' activities and performances."
