Continuing Education for Non-Percussion Music Educators

Most music educators will agree that there is a need for percussion enrichment in the middle school and high school music programs. Non-percussion music educators with minimal college percussion training are often expected to be the sole instructor of their schools' percussion programs. Even though some schools are fortunate enough to have percussion specialists, these teachers frequently commute between campuses. The consequence is that full-time directors could benefit from more percussion expertise.

"RATAMACAMP: Educators" is a continuing education camp for directors who would like to brush up on percussion principles. Also, camp attendees will gain a more advanced understanding of percussion instruction and learn methods to excite and challenge percussion students. Graduates of RATAMACAMP: Educators will be equipping students with the tools to take the next step in percussion education.
