Program Overview

 ?????????The DePaul University School of Music Percussion Department strives to instill in each student the fundamentals of technique and musicianship that are essential for a career in music, regardless of area of emphasis.  Students in the percussion department have gone on to have varied career tracks such as performance, education, business, sound recording, and composition.  Whether you are interested in orchestral percussion, new music, chamber music, or collegiate/K-12 teaching, we have a course of study that we can customize for you.  

In today’s music industry, percussionists must have a strong foundation in ALL aspects of percussion -- not just a select few.  All of our faculty members are current professional performers, and we pass on our first-hand knowledge to our students.  Located in the heart of Chicago, students are exposed to performances of all kinds of music and have opportunities to see and hear their teachers perform almost any night of the week.  Students work on their ensemble skills in percussion ensemble, large-ensembles, and chamber groups.  Solo skills are fostered in recitals, lessons, studio classes, and mock orchestral auditions.   Degrees offered include the BM, BME, MM, MME, and Performers Certificate.  Please feel free to explore our site for information on our faculty, ensembles, audition requirements, and classes offered.
