The Wind Quintet as a Teaching Medium

Clinic Synopsis:

Within a band program, a strong small ensemble program helps strengthen the larger ensemble. The Cumberland Quintet will offer a session dealing with teaching techniques available through use of the small ensemble, including improving listening ability, intonation, use of dynamics, blending and group unity. These techniques will be demonstrated using literature appropriate for the high school wind quintet.
