Come join the fun at our 5th annual saxophone workshop for advanced middle and high school students.

Classic Winds, Strings & Percussion is please to announce the continuation of an important educational and fun opportunity for all high school and advanced middle school saxophonists!  The Metro Saxophone Symposium will provide you with a UNIQUE opportunity to play with other really interested saxophonists.

Well-known professional music instructors and performers will work with you in both LARGE SAXOPHONE ORCHESTRA (SOPRANO, ALTO, TENOR, BARITONE AND BASS SAXOPHONES) and small ensemble settings.  You will have the opportunity to perform for comments from the instructors in daily masterclasses.  Special guest artists will perform throughout the week and we'll conclude with a special concert featuring our Saxophone Orchestra and select ensembles.  This will be a week of intensive study of saxophone performance, literature, acoustics, vibrato, history, college preparation, and everything else related to the saxophone.  Participants are asked to prepare at least one solo for optional performance in a masterclass.

Instructors

Noted saxophonists Robert Haley and Ravan Durr will  both conduct and perform as part of this event.   Robert Haley is founder and owner of Classic Saxophone Online, a business dedicated to saxophonists and their needs established in 1996.   Ravan Durr is an active teacher, soloist and recording artist.

Fees

The fee for the entire week is $200.00 and includes all instruction, all music, camp t-shirt, concert performance recording and masterclasses.  Participants must bring their own lunch.  You may make a non-refundable, partial registration payment of $100.00 or send your full payment of $200.00 with your application.  The balance of your payment is due May 31, 2011.  Upon receiving your application, we will mail you a notice of acceptance and workshop schedule.  Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis.  We have limited openings, so apply soon!  Please send your completed application with payment to:
