James Doyle, percussionist: Home

Greetings Everyone!

We have exciting news to share for the new year-  Adams State was approved and accredited by NASM to offer a masters in music education, with an option for the degree to be predominantly online.  We plan to start the first cohort in August of this year.  Message me for more information.

In other news, I'm looking forward to a busy semester with some wonderful CD releases, clinics for jazz festivals, percussion events, and the state music conference, a new course to teach in music business, a faculty solo recital, and much more. 

And as a new year's resolution, I'm planning to make frequent blog updates so stay tuned.

Happy New Year!

James

As always, PASIC was a wonderful experience.  A special congratulations to my student, Josh Wohlrabe for his performance in the 50th Anniversary Marimba Orchestra.  What an experience!

Also, thanks to the great folks at Vic Firth, my student, David Noller was given the opportunity for a free lesson with Australian drum set artist, Grant Collins.  He had a wonderful time, as did all of my students in attendance.
