Featuring
Sherry Rubins, Professor of Percussion, UT San Antonio |
Each year, thousands of percussionists throughout Texas
audition for placement in the All Region, Area and State Ensembles. Because
of the worth of musical development that these selections have for high
school percussionists, we’ve decided to create a special clinic
covering the 4 etudes.
Even if you’re not from Texas, we hope that
you’ll benefit
from the musical experience by practicing these selections. |
