Summer is a great time to enjoy making music with others and here are some opportunities you won’t want to miss!
Clarinet Choir
An ensemble for players of instruments in the clarinet family, such as the bass or Eb clarinet. This class will improve your ensemble playing skills, tuning, and playing in general. Music is chosen based on the playing level and interests of the group, and players will have the opportunity to explore multiple genres. Join other players in an encouraging atmosphere and improve your skills along the way! Open to anyone who has been playing clarinet for at least one year. Players should be able to read printed music. You can register here.
Summer Intensive
Middle and high school students will develop their musical skills through small and medium sized ensembles, warm-up, technique, and performance classes, music workshops, and private lessons with our specialized faculty. This program will help you improve your tone and technique and inspire you to take your instrumental playing to the next level. For students with at least one year of experience on their instrument and a love of music!
Participants will rotate through a variety of musical activities, carefully scheduled to balance active playing periods with listening and learning sessions. The ultimate goal is to provide an enriching, exciting, and fun experience for all students of all levels.
Students will have the opportunity to play in small and medium sized ensembles, work one-on-one with a faculty mentor in two private lessons per week, explore the world of solo repertoire in performance classes (solo performance not required) and further their musical development through workshops, warm-up, and technique classes. Our outstanding faculty will perform in concert for the students at the beginning of the week. At the end of the week, students will have the option to perform for their peers in the student solo concert, and will participate as a group in a final celebratory performance for friends and family in the beautiful Alix Goolden Performance Hall.
