PERCUSSION PROGRAM
Percussion lessons are available to students age nine and older at all levels of experience. A typical program is comprised of an individual lesson and a musicianship class. As students advance, orchestra and percussion ensemble are added to their program. Over time students learn to perform on a wide variety of percussion instruments, including snare drum, mallets, timpani, hand drums, and various Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and African instruments. Technical study, sight reading, improvisation, and the cultivation of musical understanding are integral to the curriculum.
