Studio Class - Tuesday, 17 September 2013

Good morning, everyone!

As to studio today, yes, we will have it. No, you do not need instruments. We have another masterclass to attend. This time by the principal and bass trombonists of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. We will meet in Staples (again) at 11:00 am. The principal trombonist, Ken Thompkins, will hold his masterclass from 11:00am-12:00 pm. Then, Randy Hawes, bass trombonist (and CMU alum) will hold his masterclass from 12:00- 1:00 pm. You are REQUIRED to be at the 11-12 (Ken Thompkins) masterclass, and STRONGLY SUGGESTED to be at the 12-1 masterclass with Randy.

Also, don't forget that the concert at 8:00 pm tonight is also MANDATORY! It also counts as one of your Master Artist series concerts that we are requiring all students to attend.

On a side note, this morning, Sarah and I start off the day being interviewed (at 7:30 am!) by WCMU (a pre-recorded interview for broadcast on another day) about my ArtPrize entry. I'll let you know when they are going to air it.

One final note. Brett Bulka and Greg Lubbers, I need to move your lessons. Dr. Maurtua asked me late last week if I could coach the orchestral winds today (he has to be out of town). Let's talk this morning at the master class. I will also need to talk Keera, Jimmy and Josh about make-up lessons as well.

Thanks and see you all at 11:00 am in Staples.

Dr. Cox
