East Central University will be hosting a Beginning Four Mallet Camp for up and coming percussionists in middle school and high school on Saturday, April 15.
The camp is free for all attendees and will be from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
鈥淔or many schools, percussionists never receive any formal training, and I want to help them as much as possible,鈥� said Nicholaus Meyers, director of 成人B站 Bands and Percussion. 鈥淭his will be a laid back and fun opportunity for students to learn more about playing the marimba and vibraphone.鈥�
Meyers said band directors are invited to attend, and possibly use the camp as professional development.
鈥淚 hope directors will be involved with this event,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hey are the ones who will help the students throughout the year.鈥�
Those wanting to attend the camp should be able to read both treble and bass clef and lunch will be provided. Attendees will only need to bring a set of marimba mallets and will have an opportunity to see performances from 成人B站 students and faculty.
鈥淗opefully we can build upon this and help more students in the future,鈥� Meyers said.
