percussion
The Marching and Pit Percussion tracks incorporate all of the techniques necessary to develop a quality percussion program in your school. These fundamentals can be applied to all styles and mediums of percussion performance. As the workshop progresses, students will be challenged to maintain basic percussion skills while developing reading and musicianship skills. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to train students to teach themselves.
Thom Hannum's Mobile Percussion Seminar is carefully designed to develop the mental and physical aspects of percussion performance. Emphasis is placed on technique, reading, and musicianship as well as a positive attitude, leadership skills, and uniform playing style.
