Includes the Middle School Clarinet, Trumpet and Horn Institutes
August 16-20, 2010
8:30am-5:30pm
Students with at least two yeas of experience on their instrument will enjoy a comprehensive music program that combines the performing arts with summer fun!
Workshops for flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, horn, low brass, violin/viola, and cello will focus on specific skills, techniques, repertoire and ensembles.
Opportunities for working with music technology are also available for an extra fee.
Instrument-specific classes, formerly called Institutes, will take place for half the day. Professional faculty will gear activities for this age group and will include:
- Basic Technique: tone, breathing, range, pitch accuracy, intonation, articulations, dynamic range, scales, fingerings, bowings, hand & body positioning, embouchure, etc.
- Reading Skills: rhythm patterns, note accuracy, key signatures, sight-reading, visual to sound connections and lots of practice
- Solo Playing: coaching on solo preparation, mock auditions, audition techniques, tone and sound production specific to solo playing
- Ensemble Playing: independent part playing in two to four part ensemble music focusing on an introduction to small ensemble playing skills and musical independence
- Preparation for Regional Auditions
Afternoon classes will include music writing, music history, ear-training, beginning improvisation, chorus, and will be designed to provide new artistic experiences, refine participants’ musical skills, foster a broader understanding of the arts and yet still be fun and summer-focused.
Half-day options are available for the morning Intensive Intrumental Workshops.
