Yale School of Music percussionists engage with a diverse curriculum covering chamber, solo, and orchestral works within an exceptionally comprehensive program. Weekly instruction includes private lessons and studio seminars, alongside performances with the Yale Philharmonia and Yale Percussion Group. Through the New Music New Haven series, students regularly partner with composers to debut original pieces, building artistic connections that endure beyond their Yale years. Graduates of the percussion program have established careers with renowned groups like The Percussion Collective, Sō Percussion, and Sandbox Percussion, joined orchestras such as the Oslo Philharmonic, and secured teaching positions at prestigious institutions including the University of Miami's Frost School of Music, University of Maryland, and California Institute of the Arts.
