STEEL CITY CLARINET DAY is........

    Steel City Clarinet Day is an event designed to bring the Southwestern Pennsylvania clarinet community together to share in a music making and music learning experience. Due to the uncertainty of the global pandemic, Steel City Clarinet Day 2020 will be virtual this year! All sessions will be hosted via Zoom. Moving the event online means that we can bring even MORE CLARINET and MORE CLARINETISTS to you in this one amazing day!!! At SCCD's VIRTUAL ALL-DAY EVENT, high school students, college students, continuing adult learners, teachers, performers, and faculty are invited to participate in master classes and special topic workshops with featured artists and faculty. Each session is designed to support clarinetists of all levels in growing their clarinet knowledge and skills. For this year's special event, we are offering a new online HIGH SCHOOL SOLO COMPETITION. To learn more about this exciting new activity as well as all of the day's events and guests, please visit the ABOUT page!

BLAST for bass clarinet.  My session will cover tips to get a solid, fat sound on the bass clarinet (and all low clarinets) and help players improve tone, low register articulation, and confidence in the upper register.  Preparation advice for the PMEA District I Honors Band 2020 solo will be given in addition to general techniques and exercises for all players.
