Music Lesson of the Week: Percussion!
Looking for percussion lessons in Mattoon, Illinois or online? This week’s featured lesson area at Chris K Music is percussion!
Percussion is one of the most versatile areas of music. A percussionist may be asked to perform on a snare drum in concert band, play mallets in an orchestra, march on the field, add auxiliary percussion to a worship or contemporary group, or pick up a cajon, djembe, or congas for a completely different musical setting.
At Chris K Music, percussion lessons are designed to help students become well-rounded musicians who can confidently perform in a variety of ensembles and situations.

Concert, Marching, Orchestra, Jamming & More
One of the biggest advantages of studying percussion is the number of opportunities available to musicians.
Percussion lessons at Chris K Music can help prepare students for concert band, marching band, orchestra, jazz ensemble, worship music, rock and pop groups, school ensembles, auditions, solo performances, and recreational music-making.
Lessons can also supplement a student’s school music education. Students can bring in their band or orchestra music, audition material, marching percussion exercises, solos, or other music they are currently preparing.
Become a More Versatile Percussionist
Being a percussionist involves much more than learning how to hit a drum. Students develop timing, coordination, listening skills, dynamics, technique, music reading, and an understanding of how their part fits into the entire ensemble.
The goal at Chris K Music is to help students understand how to use percussion effectively in any playing or performance group or situation.
Whether you’re a beginner picking up drumsticks for the first time or an experienced musician looking to expand into additional percussion instruments, lessons can be customized around your goals.
