Percussion

Drum Set, Groove, and Global Styles

This program supports stylistic breadth. Students may:

  • Combine classical training with jazz or rock drum set
  • Develop groove, fills, and style fluency across Latin, funk, and fusion genres
  • Explore world percussion traditions including conga, tabla, cajón, djembe, bongos, tambourine
  • Receive crossover coaching for hybrid or contemporary ensemble roles

Why This Division Matters

Percussionists often face fragmented instruction—one teacher per instrument, or self-teaching via videos. We offer structured mentorship across all percussion disciplines, with real-time feedback and long-term support.

Whether you're in Chile, Kenya, or rural Australia, this division gives you access to elite coaching — without needing to relocate.

The Percussion Division is where versatility meets precision — and where percussionists become complete, expressive artists.
