Class Overview

​The Percussion Techniques class is designed to offer students the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the percussion instrument family, and offer performance experiences that more specifically challenge and adhere to a percussionist’s needs. This class will also expose students to other areas of percussion performance through marching band drum line music; indoor drum line show; and concert percussion ensemble opportunities. Students will also utilize non-traditional areas of percussion such as “found” instruments; non-traditional notation; unique voiced ensembles; and extended techniques only found in percussion-specific music.
