REPERTOIRE
UNDERGRADUATE PROFICIENCY LEVELS
Undergraduate students enrolled in percussion performance will demonstrate
competency to complete the minimum requirements for advancement from Lower
Division to Upper Division course levels. Students must demonstrate acceptable
proficiency in keyboard study, snare drum, and at least two (2) other areas before
advancement into upper division performance courses (MUP 318/MUP 418). Juries will
be used to test proficiency.
The following repertoire list serves as a guide in preparation for advancement at each
level of study. Although these materials are considered minimum requirements to be
selected from, students are not limited solely to this material. Each area contains
appropriate technical studies, sight-reading, and repertoire. The percussion faculty
reserves the right to choose material appropriate for each level of study.
