MUSP 241 - Percussion Elective


1 hr (Sem I, II)
Private Music Lesson. MUSP 241 is designed for non-music majors (percussionists) who wish to further their performance skills, as well as for students (non-percussionists) who want to learn about percussion and how to play percussion instruments. 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. There is a lab fee for this course. This course is repeatable for credit. 1 private music lesson hour.
