Course Requirements

Percussion ensemble is an auditioned course. Please get in touch with Dr. Walsh to introduce yourself and set up an audition time for admission/placement. This course requires fluency in reading sheet music and an understanding of the "big three" percussion instruments: snare drum, keyboards, and timpani.


Readings

Repertoire will be picked at the beginning of each semester and distributed at the first class meeting. Students are expected to provide their own sticks/mallets unless otherwise indicated (for example, bass drum and gong mallets). 


Course Subjects

This course focuses on two types of repertoire: historical music important to the development of percussion, and new music pushing the instrument forward. Each semester is a balance between these two focuses at the instructor's discretion.


Student Learning Outcomes/Learning Objectives

Students will leave with having elevated their chamber music performance abilities and with an increased level of musicianship.
