| Abstract | ii To my parents, who have no idea what I am doing but trust me nonetheless iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank all those who have helped, and are helping me on my journey. I would like to thank those on my committee for their time, support, and wisdom. I have learned a great deal from each through academic courses, rehearsals, and performances that will stay with me for a long time. I would like to especially thank Dan Moore for allowing me the freedom to choose my own path and helping me along the way. I have had some fantastic experiences at the University of Iowa and I am truly grateful for the opportunities afforded me here. I have had the pleasure to be taught by some fantastic individuals who have given so much encouragement. I am so fortunate to have had Bob Browning and Chris Zerges as music teachers in high school; their musicianship, passion, and humor will stay with me forever. I am grateful to have studied with such a genuine musician and person as Rusty Burge. To be sure, I would be nowhere without the unending love and support from my parents. From beginning band concerts in fifth grade to graduate recitals and beyond, they sat through many performances and I could not be happier to have them in the audience. They are truly amazing people who inspire me everyday. iv PUBLIC ABSTRACT The combination of solo percussion with live electronics is one of the newest genres of music today.

This document could serve as supplemental material for an undergraduate percussion curriculum to help students gain experience performing with live electronics. Most students in university music departments are not exposed to technology unless they seek it out themselves. This may cause many student instrumentalists to be hesitant to play works with technology. However, as performing with electronics becomes more common, music students without this experience are at a disadvantage. Basic knowledge of audio equipment, having experience using a … |
