Be A Part Of The Percussion Section
Workshops and placements are designed to not only give students the opportunity to try new instruments but they are set up to place students in the best position to make the group as a whole competitive. During workshops students are asked to perform on a wide variety of excersices and to try out different instruments. Our percussion instructors will give one on one guidance during this time. Students are asked to have an open mind during the process.
