About SFCM's Percussion Department

Percussion students study side-by-side with both current and former members of the San Francisco Symphony. Small studio sizes and talented, committed peers make SFCM percussion a hothouse for artistic growth. Each student gets the mentorship and performance opportunities they need to develop into successful professionals.
