New Box of Reeds

Jeffery — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:25:42 GMT

I traded my box of vandoren (grey box) 4s for a blue box of 3 1/2. (aparently Steve didn't have any grey box ones) I just read your reed page and it said:

as gospel, hoever, as all manufacturer's are not created. For example, a 'blue' box of Vandoren #3's are the equivalent of a 'grey' box of Vandoren #3.5's

Am I reading this right? Did I just trade high quality 4s for lower quality 4s? or is it a different cut? I'm quite mad now....

Some new/changes

Scott — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 20:57:29 GMT

Howdy folks. A couple things to mention. Check out what's new as I've thrown up a few things - the 'setup' page has some new info as well as the practicing/warmup/tonguing pages too. Robert Spring, a well known clarinet pedagog and performer, has some excellent info and there's a little you-tube blurb about him as well. (stay away from his vibrato imho though).

I'm also going to start an "Orchestral Audition' page for those interested. It will contain audtion practices, orchestral ...

Jesus Christ Superstar

Scott — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 03:48:11 GMT

FYI for those who might be interested. Ill be performing in the Musical 'Jesus Christ Superstar' at King Street For the Arts in March and April. It's a pretty cool show. Performances are Mar. 29,30, Apr. 4,5,6 - at least those are the ones I'll be in. During this time I'm going to try to rearrange sectionals for the youth orchestra so that I can still be there for you guys - at the very least, the March 30th one that is JUST sectionals. Perhaps we could do a morning rehearsal, have a 'wind ...

The Wiz of Oz

Scott — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 05:11:36 GMT

Hey everyone. I belive St. Petes is putting on a performance of the Wizard of Oz at Showplace this week. I believe Wed-Sat? something like that. I'll confirm and put it on the calender. One of your colleagues and student of mine, Jeff, is playing in it - go on out and see the performance!

Reminder

Scott — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:46:45 GMT

Just to reiterate a few things about everyone's lessons... There's a philosophy that most teachers have and one that I employ as well that I think of which we may sometimes lose sight. Many people seek teachers out and believe that they will 'fix' everything you may do incorrectly or provide magical knowledge that will help you double your skills. This is rarely the case. Of course, there's no denying that a private teacher will be able to help you in a myriad of ways, but much of how you ...

Clarinet players rue all...yada yada...

Scott — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 20:17:24 GMT

Now that I've somehow been conned into joining this group, perhaps I should start a thread on plastic reeds or the use of neck-straps.....?!?!

Scott — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 04:45:31 GMT

Hiya my wonderful protege's. I'll be away from Feb 2nd-Feb10th. Of course, all of you have checked the calender on the site and know this already. Now, if your lesson happens on the 11th of February I WILL be having them. So, keep your heads up and your reeds on tight and take advantage of your small reprive from me!

Hello Everybody,

In addition to an awesome program, which includes Bizet, Dvorak, Sibelius, and Rossini, I will be performing the first movement of Weber's 1st Concerto for Clarinet in F minor with the orchestra. It would be really great to have fellow clarinet players there cheering me on. Here are the Details:

To Maddy: NYO European Tour

deanna — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 02:00:49 GMT

Hiya

I might be beating a dead horse here, but did you officially decline participation in the NYO tour? they're still looking for a second player and the NYO people keep asking me if you're interessted, and I don't want to outright say no, just in case you are!

Videos

Scott — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 23:45:52 GMT

I figured I should ask if anyone has some cool videos for the homepage if they have any ideas. I'm about toreplace Artie Shaw with something much less admirable.
