Summer Clarinet Clinic
Then you want to attend the USU Clarinet Clinic, June 22-25, 2009!
- Structured specially for middle school and high school clarinetists!
- Featuring USU clarinet professor Nicholas Morrison
- 9:00 AM—12:00 noon, USU Fine Arts Center, for Middle School Students
- 1:00 PM—4:00 PM, USU Fine Arts Center, for High School Students
The clinic will begin each day, Monday, June 22 through Thursday, June 25, at 9:00 AM for students with 2-3 years' of experience and 1:00 PM for students with 3+ years of experience. Students unsure of which session they should register for are urged to contact Mr. Morrison at 435.797.3506 or Nicholas.Morrison@usu.edu to set up a placement audition prior to the workshop.
Each day, we'll warm up together and work on technique and solos like you might play for an honor band or all state band audition, solo and ensemble festival or a college scholarship audition. We'll also play duets and other ensembles, and end each day with a clarinet choir that will perform at the end of the week.
