Our philosophy regarding percussion education is to be as all-inclusive as possible. 作为哈特的学生, 你通常会独自学习, 室内乐和管弦乐曲目, 还有即兴创作, 架子鼓, 还有来自其他文化的打击乐器 (particularly from Africa, 中东, 古巴, 巴西, 和特立尼达). We routinely hire guest teachers with focused areas of expertise in order to compliment our more traditional offerings. 结果是, 西蒙 percussion alumni have been very successful in finding a variety of jobs throughout the country.
平均招生人数约15人, the 西蒙 percussion program fosters a healthy exchange of ideas and perspectives among the students and allows for personalized attention from the percussion faculty. The teaching/learning experience extends beyond the boundaries of applied lessons, as the 西蒙 percussion faculty employs an "open door" policy with the students--we are here to serve you.
The 西蒙 percussion program enjoys a rich tradition of excellence and diversity dating back more than fifty years, distinguishing 哈特学校 as having one of the first percussion programs and percussion ensembles in the country. Founded and directed by Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame member Alexander Lepak from 1947-91, the 西蒙 percussion program has been directed by 本杰明•托斯 since 1992.

*Orchestral excerpts and prepared 架子鼓 demonstrations or solos, hand-drumming示威, multiple-percussion solos or studies are not required, 但可能会出现.
请注意: We have students who come to 西蒙 from across the United States and around the world. That is one of the things that makes a 西蒙 education so special. Some students are accepted and arrive having had extensive private study on their instruments. Others have had less experience (and perhaps less conventional training), but their natural abilities and great love of music allow them to make remarkable strides in a short period of time because of the expertise of our faculty.
Our requirements are sometimes quite specific to give applicants a sense of where they should be to enter a high-level conservatory environment. However, we encourage applicants to reach out to our faculty members to discuss audition repertoire. It may be that what you have prepared will suffice. 我们的首要目标是发现潜力, 如果我们觉得有潜力, it is then our responsibility to provide each and every student with the tools to be successful.
If you would like to be in touch with a member of the faculty to discuss your audition repertoire, 请写信至 harttadm@eventoshappyever.com.
