Help Your Students Have a Successful College Audition

Clinic Synopsis:

Some minor attention to detail can often be the difference between a college audition that results in denial or acceptance and even scholarship considerations. This clinic will explore such details, including what/how to play, what to wear, what to bring, and even questions to ask that will help you find the right college for your students. Dr. Schmidt will be assisted by Tim McAllister (sponsored by Conn-Selmer), and Patrick Sheridan (Chief Design Consultant for Jupiter Band Instruments).
