ICA Plays On! 2021 – First-Year Clarinet Curriculum: What to Teach & When to Teach it with Paula Corley
Join clarinetist Paula Corley for her panel: First-Year Clarinet Curriculum: what to teach and when to teach it.
If the clarinet curriculum is sequenced correctly, it is possible for beginner students to play with excellent slurred and articulated tone from low E to high C within the first year. In this session, you will learn the essential components of a successful beginner curriculum and how to troubleshoot common issues of first-year players.
