Second Semester: Week 9

Since we are halfway through the semester we switched over to woodwinds. This week was a test of what we all remembered from last semester. We reviewed key fitting, padding and learned about play conditioning. We got a practice clarinet first so that we could replace a few pads and corks. We also talked about the steps to take for a play conditioning and what you should do to be efficient. After the clarinet we received practice flutes where we got to practice padding and corking. It was definitely a good refresher since we have been working on brass for eight weeks.
