In order for a student to be a percussionist (not just a drummer) they must have at least 2 years of recent piano lessons to be a percussionist in middle school. Playing percussion is much more than drums. It includes playing pitched instruments such as xylophones and glockenspeils, as well as other percussion instruments. Contact your middle school band director if you have further questions.
