TAPS LA is a two-week intensive program for serious percussion students led by some of the top players in the field.

​

This will be the highest standard of percussion education, with a curriculum that teaches community leadership alongside artistry.

​

8 collegiate or post-collegiate participants will apprentice with our faculty as they perform chamber music, take lessons, attend masterclasses, take mock auditions, and participate in community outreach activities together.

​

All invited participants will receive free tuition and housing.
