Both days, each student will observe and participate in 7.5 hours of masterclasses, and all active students play in two 30-minute slots for each of the faculty members. Professional pianists are provided free of charge.
Seminars
clarinet-related topics
Learn valuable information to enhance your clarinet playing in focused seminars dealing with everything from mouthpieces and reeds, to modern techniques, circular breathing, double tongueing, audition preparation and much more.

No clarinet school would be complete without the harmonious sounds of clarinet ensemble! Both afternoons end with ensemble rehearsals, conducted by our illustrious faculty. The student clarinet ensemble will perform one work on the Closing Concert.
