Meet Our Percussion Faculty
Rhythm is such an integral part of the human experience, and even more-so in music. Drums and percussion are the heart and soul of so much of the music that we engage with on a daily basis, and being able to study an instrument group that is so essential to many styles and genres is one of my favorite parts of being a drummer and a percussionist! Developing good rhythm is a valuable skill that is essential for great music making, and studying drums and percussion is the best way to develop rhythm while having a blast doing so!
