@ Percussion Podcast

This episode was recorded during TAPS East Coast held at Snow Pond - the facilities of the New England Music Camp (NEMC).  We managed to include everyone, both faculty and participants, in this episode. Ted Atkatz and Shaun Tilburg are familiar faces, and we're lucky that Fiona Bryan, Director of Outreach and Communications of Snow Pond, could join us too. She's a trained violinist, and with all of our Bach conversation, she had some really interesting points to make.Topics: NEMC, TAPS, Julia Cameron's Walking in This World, adapting Bach to marimba, orchestral auditionsWatch here.
