Percussion 2 H is a continuation of the Fine Arts Center’s Percussion 1, and presumes a solid foundation in snare drum reading, demonstrable command of the 40 snare drum rudiments, and the ability to perform snare drum solos in both concert and rudimental styles. On the drum set, students should have relaxed and flexible four-way coordination in rock and jazz, be able to read studies and be comfortable improvising in both styles. Students should have aural references points (know some of the music) in jazz. Students should have a thorough familiarity with Ted Reed’s Progressive Steps to Syncopation, Garwood Whaley’s Fundamental Studies for the Snare Drum, Charlie Wilcoxon’s The All American Drummer, John Pickering’s The Drummer’s Cookbook, or their equivalent. Percussion 2 H builds on this foundation, expanding reading, musical, and technical ability on the snare drum as well as breadth and depth on the drum set. Samba, some Latin and Afro-Cuban styles are introduced, and jazz studies are taken to an intermediate level. In addition, Percussion II students begin their studies on the marimba and timpani, and are given their first experience rehearsing and performing in a percussion ensemble. Classes include group, instruction, individual instruction, and studio practice time.

Advanced Percussion (Level 4 H) is open to musicians with significant accomplishment in at least two of the five major areas of classical percussion (snare drum, drum set, timpani, two-mallet marimba, and four-mallet marimba) through those with a broad knowledge of classical percussion in general. Previous, successful study in the techniques and literature of these instruments is required, and training in music theory is strongly recommended. Students in Advanced Percussion may choose to deepen their knowledge of an already familiar instrument through intensive study or build fundamental skills on a less familiar instrument. Simultaneous study of at least two instrumental areas, however, is required. Advanced Percussion students may also design a broad study of all five areas, covering a number of semesters, in preparation for a college or university major in percussion. The instructor must approve all courses of study. Students in Advanced Percussion also gain knowledge of the minor percussion instruments (cymbals, bass drum, triangle, tambourine, etcetera) through the rehearsal and performance of percussion ensemble music. Classes include group, instruction, individual instruction, and studio practice time
