Percussion Studio

Welcome to the Capital University Percussion Studio! Today's college percussion curriculum at the undergraduate level must present a wide variety of literature and opportunities to the student. At Capital University we strive for excellence in all aspects of percussion performance. We are dedicated to providing an educational environment that promotes a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of percussion in the music industry.

During the summer of 2008, the Percussion Studio underwent a full-scale renovation of practice rooms, offices, storage areas, and teaching studios. Check out pictures of the new rooms here!

If you still have further questions after looking around our Web site, please feel free to e-mail one of the percussion staff or students, and we will do our best to answer.
