Hybrid Theory: A Study of Hybrid Rudiments through Classical Musical Form

Abstract

I composed ten works for solo snare drum which consisted of nine hybrid rudiments and five types of classical musical form. I spent the Spring of 2020 working with Professor Russell Wharton, my assigned private lessons teacher, on the first three compositions, and finished the remaining seven under Julie Davila during the Spring of 2021. During the composition process, I sent the drafts to my peers and played the pieces for Professor Davila to make sure they were coherent, as well as appropriate, for the intended audience. After the completion of this project, I intend to publish this work with Row-Loff Productions.
