The percussion department at the University of Oregon offers two percussion performance ensembles. The University Percussion Ensemble is devoted to the performance of standard percussion ensemble repertoire which balances the avant-garde music performed by the Oregon Percussion Ensemble. Percussionists majoring in music performance perform in both of the percussion ensembles.
Percussion students also have the opportunity to participate in large ensembles including the University Symphony, under the direction of Timothy Paul and Fritz Gearhart; Oregon Wind Ensemble conducted by Robert Ponto; Oregon Symphonic Band conducted by Timothy Paul; Oregon Marching Band directed by Eric Wiltshire; jazz bands and combos under the direction of Steve Owen; and the Pacific Rim Gamelan directed by Robert Kyr.
Performance degrees are offered at the Bachelor, Master's and Doctoral (Primary and Supporting) levels. The University of Oregon also maintains a strong program in music education, where students have the opportunity to enroll in specialized course work leading to degrees in Music Education.
