Double Reed

double-reed-2

Students will spend five fun-filled days learning to make reeds, participating in bassoon and oboe ensembles, receiving private instruction, playing in master classes and concerts. Reed-making sessions will cover topics from the beginning stages of reed construction to putting the final touches on existing reeds. Our double reed professors will tailor their guidance to best assist each individual student. No previous reed-making experience is necessary. Ensemble parts will be handed out at camp and the week will culminate in a performance for parents on the final day.

Preparation:

Students should be entering 7-12 grade.

Reed Making:

An extra $25 fee is added to the tuition for expendable reed-making supplies such as cane, thread, glue and staples which will be provided at camp.
Students are encouraged to bring their own reed-making tools if they already own them. However, extra tools will be available for students to use at camp.

Concerts

Two concerts will be presented during camp (one of faculty, one of students). These are free and open to the public.

Scholarships:

Scholarships are available to help defray the cost of the camp. Please check the Scholarships page for complete information.
