Studio Class and Master Class

Studio,
Since life has been so crazy the last couple of weeks, take some time off. No studio class today or master class tonight. On Wednesday, though, we do have the Brass Area recital and the trombone ensemble concert tomorrow (Tuesday) night, both of which are required. See you at your lessons.

T/E Ensemble Reh

Studio,
I am canceling T/E ensemble rehearsal for today (12.12.12). I have an area meeting that I need to attend at that time. Tonight's dress rehearsal starts promptly at 7:00 pm with Prometheus. Dr. Mueller will be there, so don't be late. And if you are not playing in that work, I would still like you to be there in the hall. It is a GREAT piece and you won't be able to hear (and appreciate) it at tomorrow night's concert.

See you tonight.

Masterclass for 10/1/12

Hello all.

Just a reminder that we ARE having a masterclass tonight and that it is mandatory for all freshmen and sophomores. Juniors and seniors are encouraged to come. Tonight will be about mouthpiece buzzing. I will have a (extensive) handout of exercises for you. See you in a few hours in room 230.

Studio Change for today (9/19/12)

Studio,

Sorry for the late notice, but a change in plans for today. Instead of T/E ensemble, I want everyone to go to the jazz masterclass with "Spoke" in Staples. NO horns are needed. It should be a good (and interesting) masterclass.

Thanks,

Dr. Cox
