Presented by Just Percussion, supported by Percussimo.

Breathe new life into your percussion curriculum – from solos to chamber works to conducted ensembles.

This two-hour workshop will take a look at the criteria we should consider as educators that will simultaneously enhance students' technique and musicianship, excite and motivate them to learn more, keep things fresh and interesting for you the director, and engage and educate your audiences. Logical sequences of repertoire for solo and ensemble playing will be demonstrated through live performance, audio and video examples, and full audience participation. You will walk away refreshed with some new ideas and perspectives on percussion repertoire and pedagogy.
