Brass Connections

THIS SPRING!
April 3 thru June 5
9 weeks

All Ages, All Brass Instruments

“Music education opens doors that help children pass from school into the world around them a world of work, culture, intellectual activity, and human involvement. The future of our nation depends on providing our children with a complete education that includes music.” Gerald Ford

This 8-week virtual program is designed to make up for the many lost performance and educational opportunities brass students will face as band programs remain online during the pandemic.

The Course

  • April through May
    • 8 weeks with a week-long break for Thanksgiving 
  • Weekly meeting, alternating guest artist and studio class
  • Meetings will typically be Saturdays 11am-12
  • Private lessons available
  • All ages welcome, beginner through high school
  • Teachers and college students are welcome and encouraged to audit! Simply fill out the form below and note your professional status.

Guest speakers will be hosted at best possible times, as many live in other time zones.

Guest Speakers (5)

Guest speakers include:

Matilda Loyd, international soloist
Justin Bland, Baroque specialist
Rachelle Jenkins, French horn, author, entrepreneur
Hermon Mehari, jazz soloist
Carol Jantsch, tuba

Studio Class (4)

Ranging from common concepts to group performances, this is a chance to exercise peer performance skills and to be a community.

Cost

The cost for this program is free, thanks to generous support from the local community cultural councils of Massachusetts. The cost to educate is $600. Unaffiliated students will be asked for a cash deposit of $150, which will be returned at the completion of the program, or which can be applied toward additional lessons if so desired.
