OUR MISSION
"Seattle Percussion Works enriches our community by building interpersonal skills, artistic courage, and a sense of belonging through world-class percussion education."
The power of music.
At Seattle Percussion Works, we believe in the power of music to transform lives. We strive to create an environment where our students can gain self-esteem, a sense of belonging, and musical and artistic enrichment. Our experienced and passionate instructors are committed to helping you reach your goals, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced musician. We offer a variety of classes and workshops for all ages and skill levels, so join us and explore the amazing world of percussion.
Multiculturalism.
Percussion traditions can be found all across the globe. The multiculturalism embedded in percussion music gives us the opportunity to build a broader worldview within our students by engaging them in the various cultural styles present in our community and beyond. As Seattle Percussion Works grows, we are excited to feature artists and teachers who champion the various styles of percussion music.
Accessibility.
Building proficiency takes time and effort. But, if we're being completely honest, making a meaningful sound on a drum can happen almost immediately. Combining that with a classroom environment that engages aspiring musicians, no matter their skill level, we believe a meaningful and sustainable musical journey can begin.

Our percussion studio offers a unique and inviting space for small classes, private lessons, chamber music rehearsals, and more. Our facility is equipped with a wide range of percussion instruments and sound attenuated walls to ensure the highest quality of music education. Our experienced staff is dedicated to providing a safe and inspiring learning environment for students of all ages and experience levels. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned musician, our studio is the perfect place to hone your percussion skills.
Our Building
Our Building is home to artists, makers, and small creative businesses located in the industrial heart of Ballard. It is a safe and welcoming community, where professionals and creatives alike can come together to collaborate, network, and create. We host biannual art walks, which give our tenants the chance to showcase and share their talents with the public. Building C is a place where ideas come to life and creativity can thrive.
