The ICA Clarinet Enthusiasts Committee presents a three-hour workshop, “Choose Your Own Adventure” on April 11, 2026 from 11:30 am – 2:30 pm ET.
Join us and Choose Your Own Adventure to learn a movement of some of the greatest pieces in the repertoire! From warm-ups through two breakout sessions and more, we will help you get a strong start and have a solid game plan to learn either the 3rd movement of Finzi’s Five Bagatelles, or the 1st or 4th movement of the Saint-Saens Sonata. On your adventure you will be guided by the Enthusiasts Committee’s very own Lynne Snyder (Queen Reed), Jay Hassler (Clarinet Ninja), Josh Goo (QuickStart Clarinet), Christine MacDonnell (winds4you), and Mikki Ryan (Metaphoric Winds) as they give their unique perspectives and insights into mastering one of the previously mentioned pieces. If you are having a hard time choosing between these 3 great adventures, don’t fret because all the sessions will be recorded and available for later viewing!
