Why?

Learning to play percussion is a great way to express yourself. It can also help to develop motor skills, boost brain power, reduce stress levels and increase fitness!  It’s also a great way to make new friends.

How & What?

You can learn orchestral percussion as part of a small group, paired or individual lessons. All students will learn a wide range of percussion instruments, including snare drum, timpani, xylophone, as well as learning the basic stick and mallet techniques for these. There are lots of instruments to play as well as some amazing repertoire to explore.
