NYSSMA Winter Conference,
Nov. 30 & Dec. 1, 2017: Workshop and Appearance with JW Pepper

Looking forward to meeting colleagues and talking percussion at the NYSSMA Winter Conference in Rochester, NY.

In my workshop, Teaching a Relaxed Percussion Technique, I’ll explain :

  • an effective snare drum grip
  • playing with relaxed arms and hands
  • using the rebound off the drum for speed and control
  • using “lifts and levels” to play smooth dynamics

There will be lots of time to discuss any questions teachers might have about playing and teaching percussion!
