Ken Eberhart, Percussion

About

I have a Masters Degree in Percussion Performance from the UMKC Conservatory of Music, and a Bachelors Degree in Music Education, with an emphasis in percussion performance, from Missouri Western State. I have over 4 decades worth of professional playing experience in symphony orchestra, jazz, ragtime, rock, pit orchestra musicals, ballet orchestra, marching (rudimental), wind band, and ethnic percussion. As a college/university trained musician, I have a "total percussion" background: proficiency as a player on snare, xylophone, marimba, vibes, drumset, & timpani, and all auxiliary percussion, in band/orchestra & rudimental drumline. My number 1 priority as a percussion tutor is to help all students ascend to their highest musical potential in percussion performance.
