Joseph Gramley
Chair, Department of Percussion
Our approach to percussion takes you around the world.
You'll be trained in virtually every aspect of percussion performance—orchestral percussion, timpani, solo marimba, chamber percussion, drum set, jazz vibes, and world percussion. Music education is at the core of everything our department does, so you will also be prepared to teach.
As a student, you'll have access to a vast and world-class inventory of impeccably maintained percussion instruments and equipment for personal practice and all music school-related rehearsals and performances. You’ll also study in acoustically superior teaching and practice facilities to rival any music school or conservatory in the world.
