Who is MM for?

The MM summer percussion camp is for ANY student interested in bettering themselves as a percussionist; any music student who is studying percussion in their school program!

We are happy to welcome students straight out of their beginner classes all the way through 12th grade!

Also come and join us if you’re playing percussion as a secondary instrument! Winds and brass who are joining a “front ensemble” in marching band are welcome too!

Who else benefits?

1. The band director who wants a percussion section that can come up with a better sound solution.

2. The private instructor, whose teachings are reinforced outside the teaching studio.

What is the Value?

Come to improve your solo marimba playing, explore improvisation, learn to wrap your own mallets, get an edge on region tryouts, be a better percussionist in a band, or get ready for college auditions!

How do I sign up?

Thank you for asking! You can register for MM using our online form!

What do we Learn?

Curriculum includes masterclasses and performance techniques on keyboard (two and four-mallet playing, creative stickings, etc.), vibraphone and jazz theory, concert techniques of snare drum, orchestral accessories (bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, etc.), timpani techniques and maintenance, and performance techniques of Latin percussion instruments -- basically any technique you would use in your musical endeavors.

A favorite class offering is mallet-wrapping and repair!

*Mallet cores will not be provided, students bring unwrapped mallets with them.

How much is tuition?

The investment is $300.00 ($275.00 for returning MM participants)
