It is very easy for a percussionist, or any instrumentalist for that matter, to experience burnout at times. In our school systems, there are so many responsibilities placed on students, as well as so many activities.
The world of percussion is so different than other band instruments. There is so much variety and so many different career paths if your students want to become a professional performer.
Timpani is perhaps the most different and distinct of all the percussion instruments.
