"Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it."
-Liam Gallagher
"The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races. The economics of this musical Esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud."
-George Steiner
"Focusing in on the musical process makes possible that shift of attention away from he and she and you and me outward toward it."
-Steve Reich, "Music as a Gradual Process"
"The effects of good music are not just because it's new; on the contrary music strikes us more the more familiar we are with it."
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The percussion studio at UNLV is led by Drs. Dean Gronemeier and Timothy Jones. We seek well-rounded education in the percussive arts in preparation for professional positions in education and performance. Students working toward undergraduate and graduate degrees benefit from the diversity of knowledge and experience that characterizes our community.
Go to youtube and check out Thomas Burritt's channel. He has a lot of cool percussion videos and is taking advantage of today's technology to spread the word about percussion!!!!!!!!!!!!
