For young advanced percussionists of all nationalities (minimum age is 14), teachers and professionals.

We would like you to prepare at least one solo piece (Marimba or Vibra or Snare, … ) and a Snare-Drum Etude. This way we will have a better opportunity to work together on details and you might be able to perform in the „Percussion-Lab“ concert. But also a pure orchestral audition program is a great base to work on. Don’t hesitate or worry about your level!

At the Academy you will find brand new instruments that have been provided by our partners ADAMS, Thomann-Music & Zultan-Cymbals & Kolberg-Percussion. If possible, we would like to ask you to bring a Snare Drum stand and a practice pad. We also recommend that you bring your own Tambourine.
