The percussion program at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ cultivates versatile, creative musicians through focused

individual study with the percussion faculty. The program curriculum mirrors national
standards in instrumental and technical proficiency while simultaneously adapting
to suit the interests and needs of each percussion major. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ features a variety of
performing ensembles, including two dedicated percussion ensembles (ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Percussion
Group and the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Steel Pan Ensemble) that cover a wide range of percussive genres,
styles, and history, as well as large ensembles such as the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra.
Additionally, the percussion facilities are outfitted to meet all percussive needs,
home to a myriad of professional-grade instruments and four dedicated percussion practice
rooms. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ percussionists also enjoy extra-curricular opportunities to perform in
