10 am -11:30 am Back to back clinics with Andrew Dahlke saxophone instructor from UNC and another clinician TBA

 

11:30 - 12:20 Jazz educator, violinist, and author of the method “Jazz Philharmonic” Randy Sabien will do a hands on clinic with a mixed group of adult and student string players. Even if you are a “band only” teacher you don't want to miss this clinic, Randy’s ideas are totally applicable. If you, your spouse or a student happen to be a string player - you are welcome to join on stage for this session.

 

12:20 - 1:10 Lunch Break

1:10 - 1:40 I will conduct an onstage mentoring demo with my elementary jazz ensemble - Jazz Alive in ‘05 - along with special guest mentors who have worked in my program this past year.

 

1:40 - 2:10 We will open the stage for any interested students (all ages). We will do a concentrated onstage session, learn one of my pieces, and have kids soloing and trading with the special guests!**

 

2:10 - 3:00 International saxophonist and jazz educator Dave Pietro will do his clinic. This is not to be missed! Dave’s sessions are really fantastic!

 

3:00 - 3:45 A “bring down the house” jazz performance with both Randy Sabien and Dave Pietro backed up by Colorado’s top jazz rhythm section.

**If you happen to be a band director or teacher yourself, please feel free to bring a budding or interested student and have them bring their instrument if they would like to sit in on the open, onstage mentoring session at approx. 1:40 pm!
