information .
July 17 - July 29, 2011
The long-running Summer
Percussion Seminar is designed specifically for advanced high-school
percussionists, who must have reached age 15 at the time of their
application and must not have graduated from high school prior to July
17, 2011.
During two intensive weeks in the exciting cultural environment of
New York's Lincoln Center, students pursue hands-on study of all the
major percussion instruments: two and four-mallet keyboard, snare drum,
timpani, and orchestral accessories. In addition, students are
introduced to world hand drums, percussion chamber music, and both
multi- and solo-percussion repertoire. Seminar participants will
experience a challenging range of master classes, clinics, lectures,
rehearsals, and performances—all of this activity focused on preparing
them for success in conservatory and college auditions. View a sample of the 2010 schedule.
