Iâ€™m interested in your thoughts about leading a Masterclass or Clinic for High School, Junior High or Elementary School Tuba Players... activities or topics to discuss that seem to work well- or not as well... or interesting experiences youâ€™ve had... any info.

It would also be fantastic to hear from some students as well as teachers.

If your looking for material, you should check out the ITEA website's pedagogical section. They have quite a bit of stuff for high school players by skip gray and don little. As for junior high material, I believe that Mike fischer at Boisie once did a clinic at TMEA on solo repertoire for the junior high level player. He might still have some info. Good Luck

It seems like a class with a focus on breathing and tone production, with exercises and info, is one good way to go. These are things that everyone needs to think about- from the 4th grade, to your 40th year on the job playing...
