Training
•Bullet: Main subject teachers Chris Leenders (section representative; orchestra playing, timpani, side drum, contemporary music, percussion ensemble) and Ramon Lormans (marimba, vibraphone, contemporary music, mallet ensemble) run the weekly lessons in which you build basic skills on orchestral instruments and marimba
•Bullet: Regular guest teachers cover specialisms such as hand percussion and congas (Murk Jiskoot, Jorge Sanz), timpani (Bart Jansen), orchestra percussion (Martin Ansink), contemporary music and set-up (Fedor Teunisse), rudimental snare drum (Job van Duijnhoven) and drums (Friso van Wijck), so the team can coach almost any personal ambition
Performance & Productions
•Bullet: Chamber music, solo repertoire and orchestra repertoire are regular elements of the programme, and you can make crossovers with other Codarts disciplines such as world music and music theatre
Professional Development
•Bullet: Classical percussion has a rich history at Codarts: since the conservatoire was founded in 1930, many alumni have become renowned top percussionists who work internationally with well-known orchestras and win competition prizes
