Playing piccolo is a high wire act—every note is audible. This clinic shows how even young piccolo players can achieve artistry and make a positive contribution to your band. The presenter draws upon decades of experience, including study with leading orchestral piccolo players such as Walfrid Kujala, performance in many ensembles (Chicago Symphony, Tulsa Philharmonic and Opera Orchestra, Blue Lake Festival Band); two solo piccolo recordings; and years of successful flute and piccolo teaching.
