316 Percussion I

1.0 credit/De La Salle weight

Prerequisites: Prior percussion experience and consent of the instructor.

Students will build upon the skills they have acquired in their previous percussion experiences. They will interpret, compose, and perform a wide variety of music using percussion instruments. Students will continue to use drums, keyboard percussion, accessory percussion, hand drums, and found sound as learning tools and performance media. The culmination points of the class will be several public performances in which the students demonstrate the skills they have acquired. All of these performances, while outside of class hours, are considered part of the course requirements and attendance is expected.
