Pitched Percussion
Pitched percussion means that the instrument that you're playing will be able to play specific pitches or notes, like a C or an F sharp or a B flat. You will need to know how to read music on the staff, like this, and then be able to match what the music says to the bars on the instrument that you play.

Your first pitched percussion experience usually occurs when you are assigned a timpani part in the Cadet Band. As you advance, you will learn basic melodic parts for bells, xylophone, or marimba.
