On April 27th, students in the Percussion Techniques class had the opportunity to work with guest clinician Brandon Podjasek from North Park University. The focus of Mr. Podjasek's clinic was percussion technique. He reviewed common weaknesses in percussion technique and explained how to execute various fundamentals with proper technique, demonstrating the resulting sound when played properly. Students walked away with many useful tips that will immediately improve their playing!
Thank you to Mr. Podjasek for sharing your time and talents with the Maine West percussionists!
Thank you to Mr. Gerstmayr for making this opportunity happen!
