Free Pandemic Trombone/Low Brass/Brass Clinics

​

All Band Directors:

 

With our academic year winding down at UIUC I wanted to offer you and your students a free clinic or masterclass session during your band period, or whenever is most convenient for you. If there is interest it could even be a combined band, school or all-district offering if you'd like.

 

I would be happy to do sessions on fundamentals, section playing and musicianship. Students would also be welcome to play solos, etudes or ILMEA audition requirements.

 

Depending on your school's regulations, I can easily set it up from here my UIUC zoom account and you can send the link to the students you would like to participate.

 

Please let me know if this is of interest to you, if it is, when you would like the event to occur. My email is

 

I hope you are all staying healthy and sane through this bizarre period!

 

Best,

Elliot Chasanov

Professor of Trombone
