ATTEND THE UPC WORKSHOP AT PASIC!
The University Pedagogy Committee promotes and enhances the exploration, improvement, elevation, and facilitation of the craft of percussion at every level of college teaching. The Pedagogy Workshop aims to attract, learn from, develop, collaborate, and foster new strategies in percussion pedagogy. The workshop will provide opportunities for networking as well as professional development. Individuals registered for PASIC can attend most workshop components.
