Faculty: Jaren Hinckley
Students will have an intense week of rehearsals, practicing, performing, learning, making friends, having fun and, most importantly, making music!
Audition Video Guidelines
Two contrasting pieces or excerpts that demonstrate technique and expression, plus a two octave chromatic scale, tongued in one direction and slurred the other. Record at a visual angle so embouchure and finger positions show. Piano accompaniment is optional.
Time: Do not exceed 5 minutes
The focus of Musicians Institute is chamber music. Clarinetists will participate in a small chamber ensemble (for example, a wind trio or wind quintet), rehearsing daily with their assigned ensemble and a coach. In addition, daily master classes will focus on a different clarinet skill each day.
Suggested Equipment
- Students should bring their instrument
- five or more good (preferably new) reeds
- whatever solo or chamber music and etude books they would like to work on during the week
Students can request limited private coaching if it is available. Each student will have the opportunity to perform in a concert or recital before an audience of his or her peers, friends and family.
