The Midwest Clinic is pleased to present a series of
seven rehearsal labs, designed to provide instruction to directors
in the most concrete, practical way that we can. These are not clinics
but actual rehearsals that pair middle school and high school ensembles
with noted rehearsal technicians. These rehearsals will include warm-up
techniques and sight-reading, as well as rehearsals of pieces familiar
to the ensembles. They are not intended to be polished run throughs,
but dynamic learning opportunities that work toward building a sound
and an understanding. The rehearsal labs have been planned with you
in mind!
