The TNU Percussion Ensemble was founded on a foundation of a servant attitude during the 2001-2002 school year to prepare students for performance in small ensemble situations in the professional world. The focal point of the ensemble is the improvement of individual musicianship through cooperation within the ensemble as a whole. The ensemble seeks to help students turn their individual focus on self-improvement toward a broader focus on an ensemble as a whole, thereby adding greatly back to their own individual skills. Students may also find that they are able to reach their potential through the discipline and organization of musical practice and performance. While also being exposed to various genres of percussion ensemble music, students are given a better understanding and appreciation for people of different cultures and values. The TNU Percussion Ensemble is directed by Chris Jones. For more information about Percussion Ensemble, please e-mail him at cgjones2@trevecca.edu or call (615) 248-1288.
