At the Yale School of Music, percussion students engage with a diverse curriculum encompassing chamber, solo, and orchestral works through a uniquely comprehensive program. Weekly private instruction, studio seminars, and performances with the Yale Philharmonia and Yale Percussion Group form the core of their training. The New Music New Haven concert series regularly provides chances to work alongside composers on world premieres, cultivating artistic partnerships that often extend beyond students' Yale years. Graduates of the percussion program have established distinguished careers, performing with renowned groups like The Percussion Collective, S Percussion, and the Oslo Philharmonic, while others hold teaching positions at prestigious institutions including the Frost School of Music, University of Maryland, and CalArts.
