Meet Our Percussion Faculty
Off all instruments, percussion is the easiest and fastest to sound good! Mastery, however, takes longer as the number of instruments to work with is daunting. If I had my way in college all music majors would be required to pass a Percussion Proficiency. I feel that any level of musician will benefit their skills by the study of percussion. Plus, it’s just a lot of fun!
