Young Saxophonist's Institute

Описание: http://www.ysicamps.com

For nearly a decade, the Young Saxophonist’s Institute has put on summer camps for the middle school and high school students of the Houston and Dallas/Ft Worth areas. Every year students come together for a week of focused rehearsals and master classes from some of the finest musicians in the state. During the camps, our students form small ensembles to hone their chamber music skills, and everyone plays in the large saxophone ensemble where we have Sopranos, Altos, Tenors, Baritones, and occasionally a bass saxophone. Throughout the course of the week, we focus on the fundamentals of saxophone playing, like breathing, tone, technique, and vibrato, and we also take an in-depth look at preparing for all-state and the college auditioning process. If you are thinking about registering for a camp this summer, check our website at www.ysicamps.com and fill out the camp application. The camp enrollment fills up quickly, so apply now to secure your spot on the roster. The fact that over 50% of our campers have returned for a third, fourth, and in some cases even a fifth year, is proof that they have had a meaningful experience, and while we work very hard throughout the week, we do have a lot of fun. What are you doing this summer?
