• Each day will begin with a full ensemble warm-up. We will learn scales that the students need to know for band grade tests, seat placements and All-State Auditions. (While playing scales, articulation will be discussed and demonstrated.)
• Play in ensembles: Duets, Trio, Quartets with combination of flute, clarinet or saxophone.
• Play sightreading music
• Play in peer mentoring arrangements
• Students will present short presentations on music composers, music history, and music theory. These reports will tie in directly to the music that we are playing.
• Discuss important musical aspects: such as intonation, balance, breath support, embouchure, and phrasing, posture, which cannot be covered in a large school band.
Students enjoy learning in a friendly atmosphere from each other.
At the end of the week we will perform a short 30 minutes concert on Friday 3:30.
