The Percussion Pedagogy Podcast
The Percussion Pedagogy Podcast was created to provide up-to-date pedagogical information for all experience levels and it is NOT just for percussionists. While the majority of the information is centered on percussion pedagogy specifically, we believe that because of the diverse roster of interviewees as well as the overall scope of topics we present, this podcast is a perfect resource for those looking to improve themselves as educators, performers, and scholars. ".... in diversity there is beauty and there is strength." ~ Maya Angelou
