At Music for All, students perform. We put you with a great faculty and give you opportunities to perform. Your week will be infused with hands-on, experiential learning with leading educators. Customize your schedule by choosing the elective sessions you want – Latin Percussion, Concert Percussion, Rudimental Drumming, drum set, Electronics, hand drumming and more. Clinics with top artists and worldclass drum corps create a well-rounded, unforgettable week.

• Marching percussion students are grouped by experience level for maximum learning.

• Concert percussion track students experience a wide variety of concert percussion, rather than assignments to perform with concert bands, allowing them to maximize their class time.

• Drum set students work with drum set faculty and Symposium Jazz Bands.

MFA’s percussion camp faculty is full of all-stars in the drum and percussion world, including artists from our sponsors Yamaha Corporation of America, Remo and Vic Firth.
