本課程精選當代多元編制的打擊樂代表作，涵蓋純鍵盤重奏（Mallet Quartet）、複合金屬與複合打擊重奏（Percussion Quartet），以及經典木琴協奏/重奏名作。旨在引導學生跨越純粹器樂演奏技巧，進一步深化室內樂聆聽、音色營造與大型曲目結構掌控能力。具體目標如下：
掌握鍵盤打擊樂之和聲層次與聲線揉合（Blending & Voicing）
深化四支琴槌（4-mallet）技巧在重奏中的應用，培養對泛音殘響、踏板延音控制、動態平衡（Balance）與類合唱風格（Chorale）音樂呼吸的敏銳度。
精準掌握當代節奏語彙與推動力度（Metric Drive & Precision）
強化複合拍子、切分音、多重節奏（Polyrhythm）與無指揮重奏狀態下的內在脈動共感，鍛鍊在高速與高張力音樂段落中的節奏穩定性與微律動（Micro-groove）。
擴展複合打擊樂器（Multi-percussion）與當代聲響技法
熟悉非傳統打擊技巧、特殊材質琴槌選用、膜鳴與金屬樂器的音色調配，學習在長篇幅樂曲中組織動態張力與劇場性表現。
體會獨奏與協同伴奏的張力平衡（Soloist vs. Ensemble Coordination）
透過木琴主奏與重奏樂組的互動，掌握日本現代打擊樂語彙的節奏儀式感、呼吸交替與音場空間感。
建立專業室內樂自主排練能力與舞台展演意識
培養學生分析總譜、協調各聲部進出、聆聽同儕聲響並在不同音樂性格間靈活切換的室內樂素養。

This course selects contemporary percussion masterpieces with diverse arrangements, covering pure keyboard quartet (Mallet Quartet), composite metal and composite percussion quartet (Percussion Quartet), as well as classic xylophone concerto/ensemble masterpieces. It aims to guide students to transcend purely instrumental music performance skills and further deepen their abilities in chamber music listening, timbre creation, and control of large-scale repertoire structures. The specific goals are as follows:
Master the harmonic layering and vocal blending of keyboard percussion (Blending & Voicing)
Deepen the application of four-mallet techniques in ensembles, and develop sensitivity to overtone reverberation, pedal sustain control, dynamic balance (Balance) and chorale-like musical breathing.
Accurately master contemporary rhythmic vocabulary and driving force (Metric Drive & Precision)
Strengthen the inner pulse resonance of compound beats, syncopation, polyrhythm and non-conductor ensemble, and exercise the rhythmic stability and micro-groove in high-speed and high-tension music passages.
Expanding multi-percussion and contemporary sound techniques
Familiar with non-traditional percussion techniques, the selection of special material hammers, the timbre matching of diaphragms and metal instruments, and learn to organize dynamic tension and theatrical expression in long-length music.
Experience the tension balance between solo and collaborative accompaniment (Soloist vs. Ensemble Coordination)
Through the interaction between the xylophone lead and the ensemble, master the rhythmic ritual, breath alternation and sound field space of modern Japanese percussion vocabulary.
Establish professional chamber music independent rehearsal capabilities and stage performance awareness
Cultivate students' chamber music literacy in analyzing scores, coordinating the entry and exit of various parts, listening to peers' voices, and flexibly switching between different musical personalities.
