This clinic focuses on using chamber music as a medium to help students improve their technique and musicianship, as well as their ensemble etiquette, confidence and leadership. It explores long-term benefits of chamber music such as personal growth and ability to work as a team. It will demonstrate how these same chamber music techniques can be paralleled in large ensemble rehearsals, thus showing how a chamber music approach to large ensemble can create a more rewarding musical experience.
