Consider attending the Hartt Summer Clarinet Institute this July and gain that experience you are looking for. Classes are held at the University of Hartford campus in The Hartt School, room 163. Dates and TimesHigh School: July 28-August 1, 2008
Middle School: August 18-22, 2008 9:00am-12pm About the Clarinet InstituteThe Hartt Summer Clarinet Institute is designed for three levels of Clarinet players; Middle School, Intermediate High School, and Advanced High School. All sessions will focus on basic playing technique, reeds, reading skills, repertoire, ensemble playing, audition preparation, and instrument maintenance. The goals of the week-long session are to get back in shape for the school year ahead, to be prepared for fall auditions, and to have great fun playing solo and in ensembles. Middle School Session This program is designed for clarinet students entering grades 6 - 8. Students should have at least two years of playing experience. Students with only one year of playing experience may be admitted by audition with the director. No other auditions are necessary. The Middle School session ends with a mini-concert for parents and friends to attend. High School Sessions The Intermediate Program is designed specifically for students entering grade 9, or older students who have not yet reached an advanced playing level. Students should have at least three years of playing experience. Students with less than three years of playing experience may be admitted by audition with the director. The Advanced Program is for students who are entering grades 10 - 12 AND have reached a more advanced playing level. Students MUST have been accepted to their regional High School festival. Students should have at least four years of playing experience. Students with less than four years of playing experience may be admitted by audition with the director. No auditions are necessary, however, students with fewer years of playing experience, or those unsure of which program is most appropriate, should request an audition with the director. Both High School sessions will end with mock (practice) auditions for all students. CurriculumBasic Technique: Focus on breathing, tone, intonation, articulation, dynamic range, scales, special fingerings. Reading Skills: Review of rhythmic patterns, pitch reading, key signatures, sight-reading. Solo Playing: Head start on Regional and All-State auditions - bring the assigned solo or, if you are not participating in All-State, choose your own solo piece. Solos will be presented in class.
