GMEA All-State Prep Materials Now Available! / October 21, 2020
|
After many hours of recording, editing, and notating, the 2020-2021 GMEA Audition Prep Materials for Middle School and High School Percussionists are now available right here on my website!
Due to COVID-19, the first round of GMEA All-State Auditions will be submitting virtually via video recordings. This also means that ALL students will be expected to prepare excerpts of the audition etudes (typically these etudes are only performed after qualifying for the second round). It is my hope that, by preparing these practice materials, all high school and middle school students in the state of Georgia will be confident in preparing these etudes despite the unforeseen changes to the audition process. If you are a student hoping to succeed at this year's all-state audition, or if you are a Band Director looking for a professional percussionist to speak to your students about preparing a winning audition, please get in touch to set up your first virtual lesson or masterclass! |

The Virtual 2020 Senior Spotlight Recital / September 26, 2020
|
The TB Percussion Studio's Virtual 2020 Senior Spotlight Recital was a success! We raised $400 for the LIFT Music Fund!
The "Senior Spotlight" event typically takes place each spring for my percussion studio's graduating high school seniors, but the in-person 2020 spring recital was postponed due to COVID-19. In lieu of an in-person recital, we streamed pre-recorded performances by Henry Pattavina, Chase Roberson, Asa Campbell, and Patrick Sorah. I am so proud of the accomplishments of these four seniors, all of whom are currently first-year undergraduate students pursuing music degrees at top universities here in Georgia!!! Did you miss the LIVE event? No worries! You can view the full performances by visiting: youtu.be/bxEqLgZ05iY ***This live-streamed event was also be a fundraiser for the LIFT Music Fund: an organization that was recently established to make music more accessible and equitable for underrepresented music students. Even if were unavailable to attend the event live online, please consider offering a small contribution by visiting the following campaign website: https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/lift-music-fund-launch/trevorbarroero |
