MUSP 244 - Percussion Pre-Major

1 hr (Sem I, II)
Private Music Lesson. MUSP 244 is designed for percussion majors who are preparing for major level of study. Students enrolled in weekly applied percussion lessons will explore the fundamentals of percussion instruments as well as learn the proper performance techniques associated with playing percussion instruments. Individualized lessons will include (but will not be limited to) learning scales and arpeggios for mallet instruments, stick control and rhythmic studies for snare drum and drum set, and tuning for timpani. Appropriate method books and/or solo literature will be studied. During subsequent semesters of study, students will be exposed to more advanced levels of study (including appropriate scales, arpeggios, etudes, and solo literature) on mallets, snare drum, drum set, timpani, and/or other percussion instruments. Each student will perform a jury examination for the music faculty at the end of each semester of study. At the discretion of the course instructor, students may also be required to participate in a student recital each semester of study. This course may be repeatable for credit based on approval from the music faculty. There is a lab fee for this course. 1 private music lesson hour.
