Introduction

Hello.  My name is Joe Viviano.  I'm a percussionist new to College Park, MD, a suburb of Washington DC.  My wife, also a percussionist, is a graduate student at the University of Maryland, and we've both just moved here from Nashville, TN.  This website is my first act of self-promotion, as I seek musical work in this area.  I am a performer and a teacher, and I've been doing both for a long time.  I offer lessons, ensemble instruction, and compostion.  In performance, I specialize in classical percussion, especially marimba.  I'm not a slouch on drum set or hand drums, and if I've even dabbled in steel pan.

As I'm writing this, I'm preparing to leave for Army basic training, in preparation to be part of the Army band, stationed in Fort Jackson, South Carolina.  So starts something new.

Web Site Design

This website was created using the freeware WYSIWYG html editer KompoZer, starting with the Natatorium template. Natatorium is a free template designed by SimplyGold.  Having only rudimentary html skills, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to appear as if I've paid someone competent to design these pages.  I assure you, I have not.
