In an attempt to support young musicians and Elementary Music Specialists, we have included a list of adults who are excellent brass, woodwind or percussion players and are very comfortable working with students and teachers in smaller groups. All of the listed musicians are able to workshop: how to properly assemble and maintain one’s instrument (providing a list of the necessary equipment), the correct way to breathe, the most effective posture, the four types of tonguing, exercises to expand a players range, and how to make a wonderful sound. These adults are currently performers within Whitehorse Jazz and/ or Concert Bands and are available to tutor individuals, small like-instrument groups (at the same level of experience) and/or to support Directors with their ensembles. Moreover, if requested ahead of time, individuals are willing to demonstrate range, good sounds and each can recommend good listening CD’s for their own particular instrument. The complete list of musicians have worked extensively with young people Grades 6-12, but are willing to work with the Elementary Band teachers wishing to learn “how to get started correctly” as well. Schools may book a few clinicians to workshop before festivals or concerts, or may choose to book one or two a month, to reinforce basics and provide enrichment to a section of their ensemble at a time.
