Clarinet Playing: Together Again
After many months of music “in isolation”, many of us are now coming back into our ensembles and making music together in person. The ICA Clarinet Enthusiasts Committee presents a three-hour workshop devoted to improving your clarinet skills and your ensemble playing skills. We’ll have some group warm-ups, and a group ensemble (for you to play along via Zoom), and some breakout rooms for a more specialized focus. All of our breakout rooms will be recorded, so if you register and want to view more than one you will receive a link to the replay video after the event.
