Collaborative Practice Concepts - "As Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Person Sharpens Another"

Clinic Synopsis:

This clinic, based upon Wiff Rudd's "Collaborative Practice Concepts...and Thoughts on Team Building, Teaching & Career Development," will include a PowerPoint presentation and live musical demonstrations of the tools expressed in the book. Although conceived for the trumpet studio, these tools are designed so that any studio teacher or instrument team can learn to hone their skills together. The team aspect of musical groups will be reinforced.
