Special guest percussion artists, who specialize in particular areas of percussion performance, regularly visit campus to spend one or more days giving classes and private lessons. Each year you will have the chance to study with four to five guest artists that have included world percussionists Michael Spiro, Mark Lamson, and Jamey Haddad, marimbists Nancy Zeltsman, Julie Spencer, and Gordon Stout, and orchestral percussionists Thomas Stubbs (St. Louis Symphony), Edward Harrison (Lyric Opera), and Vadim Karpinos (Chicago Symphony Orchestra).
