Of Note
As a composer, writer and educator, Warren Benson was dedicated to creativity and craft, to a student-centered educational philosophy and to fostering new methods of teaching.
Along with the publication of Benson’s The Drum Tutor on this website (List of Works – Books), additional articles and materials of interest are offered here on a rotating basis from the Warren Benson Archive and other sources.
“We must try to remember that the effort at hand… no matter in what form, represents an extension of the most intimate personality of its creator.“
