This performance-based percussion class focuses on the development, continuation, and expansion of basic skills begun the previous year that are necessary for effective instrumental music performance. In addition to large group ensembles, individual growth and achievement are encouraged through participation in solo and ensemble festivals, district honor bands, and private lessons. Participation in concert performances outside of regular class hours is required.

This class covers proper technique and music reading skills necessary for proficiency on percussion instruments.  Students use "Alfred's Drum Method Book 1" and "A Fresh Approach to Mallet Percussion".

Students and parents will use Google Classroom as the hub for classroom assignments, assessments, etc.  Please e-mail wmajors@tcjackets.net if you need to gain access to Majors 8-1 Percussion Google Classroom.
