Advanced Percussion

Overview:

This high school percussion class is meant to give percussionists in-depth technical and musical training. The class will take students beyond the limits of their school band program and allow them to take a central role in the overall ensemble sound. Small classes of 7 students mean plenty of individual attention and greater opportunity for musical growth.

​

Skills gained:

• Learn the etiquette and discipline needed to be a contributing member in a chamber music environment.

• Developing a wide range of technical abilities across all instruments

• Developing internal musicianship through groove-based pieces and exercises 

• Deepening the understanding of written music

​

Music and Activites:

This class will employ a balance between written music and learning music by wrote. Our students will have the chance to improve their skills on mallet instruments, traditional drums, hand drums, and all orchestral instruments. The class will perform at the end of each quarter in recitals.
