Do undergraduates take lessons from professors, or graduate students?
Percussion Majors at the University of Michigan are all assigned to study with our five principal percussion Faculty: Michael Udow, Joseph Gramley, Brian Jones, Ian Ding and Cary Kocher. They are not assigned to study with graduate students. Having talented and experienced Masters and Doctoral level students is, however, another great tool for learning at the University of Michigan. Our undergraduate students can use these graduates as a resource as needed and perform with them in Large Ensembles and Chamber Music Ensembles. BM Fritz McGirr and DMA Neil Sisauyhoat rehearse Tan Dun’s Water Music.
