Trio Master Class: Effective Practice Techniques 

Many students don’t set specific goals when they practice, or simply don’t know how to practice. We will talk about how students can make the most of their practice time, how to set daily and weekly goals; how to effectively use a metronome and tape recorders, and how to prepare for rehearsals and performances as an ensemble member. This class can be adapted to all levels (beginner through university).

Trio Master Class: Instrumental Class

Can be individual master classes on each instrument’s technique, intonation, sound production, and musicianship; or can be a group master class, where the trio will discuss how to be a good ensemble player, listening, balance, and style.
