Percussion Ensemble

Percussion Ensemble (FA 212)

Percussion Ensemble is a chamber ensemble focusing on improving percussion techniques like: stickings, rudiments, mallet grips, rhythm, blend, correct way to play auxiliary percussion/non traditional instruments, balance, dynamics, phrasing, articulation, posture, music theory, and concert etiquette. Students will also learn about basic maintenance of percussion equipment. We will be playing music designed for percussion ensembles. This class is designed for students who already know how to read music at a high school level.

This group is designed to enhance percussionists understanding of advanced techniques.

We will be giving one public performance per semester and multiple during the school day throughout the class.

I have posted all materials and recordings for this class in Google Classroom.
