The Percussion Ensemble was also a member of the recent Everybody Hits! consortium that commissioned six composers of historically underrepresented groups to write new works for percussion ensemble.
Recent collaborations include a performance with the Dance Department on their Winterdances production and a joint commission and world premiere performance with the Saxophone Studio. Each student receives an individualized education that thoughtfully considers their past experiences and future career goals to provide a mixture of important curricular topics and student-driven goals.Īdditional experiences through collaborations, commissions, and guest artists are also central to the student experience in the Percussion Area. Curriculum emphasizes the development of musicianship, creativity, and cultural awareness in addition to entrepreneurship and modern technological skills. Diverse opportunities in ensembles and private lessons provide a well-rounded foundation for students to be successful professionals in the twenty-first century. The percussion studio at UW-Milwaukee provides a comprehensive approach to the study and performance of a wide variety of percussion instruments and the musical styles in which they are utilized.
