Overview

我们对打击乐教育的理念是尽可能做到全面. As a Hartt student, you will typically study solo, chamber and orchestral repertoire, as well as improvisation, drum-set, 以及来自其他文化(尤其是非洲)的打击乐器, the Middle East, Cuba, Brazil, and Trinidad). 我们经常聘请具有专业知识的客座教师,以补充我们更传统的课程. As a result, 哈特打击乐校友在全国范围内成功地找到了各种各样的工作.

With an average enrollment of about 15 students, 哈特打击乐项目促进了学生之间思想和观点的健康交流,并允许打击乐教师给予个性化的关注. 教学/学习经验超越了应用课程的界限, 哈特打击乐学院对学生实行“门户开放”政策——我们在这里为你服务.

哈特打击乐项目享有丰富的传统,其卓越和多样性可追溯到50多年前, 哈特学校是全国最早的打击乐项目和打击乐乐团之一. 由打击艺术协会名人堂成员亚历山大·勒帕克于1947年至1991年创立和导演, 哈特打击乐项目自1992年以来一直由本杰明·托特指挥.
