Taking Percussion Lessons
Individual lessons are available for percussionists at Duke: Percussion (MUSIC 107-1 or 207-1).
There are also fantastic opportunities for percussionists in the Wind Symphony and Symphony Orchestra. Jazz performers will find exciting opportunities in the Jazz Ensemble.
Lessons and ensembles require an audition, which takes place during the first week of classes. Auditions will be conducted by Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant, director of the Wind Symphony, as well as Julia Thompson, instructor of music (percussion).
