This is the more advanced book which follows on from Basic Rhythmic Training. http://www.halleonard.com/product/viewproduct.do?itemid=120475&menuid=2178&subsiteid=6& I think the book worked well as long as you were prepared to invest the time necessary to do the exercises.

It is written by Allan Small and was quite inexpensive. I have really enjoyed working with it!! Christine
