Session II only (July 19 - August 1, 2015)
The NYSMF Double Reed Institute (DRI) allows oboists and bassoonists the unique opportunity to enjoy the benefits of an advanced program with dedicated classes and performances in the Double Reed Institute Consort where they’ll be coached by the guest artists and faculty.
The DRI will also feature internationally-acclaimed guest oboists and bassoonists who will perform and work with the students in master classes and lead the reed-making course. Students will also have the opportunity to perform music specifically composed or arranged for double reed ensemble.
All students will participate in the daily reed-making course where the NYSMF’s Double Reed Faculty will provide necessary materials and instruction for students of all levels. Reed-making topics will include beginning formation through reed test- ing and refining. Upon completion of the Double Reed Institute participants will leave with several of their own handmade reeds to bring home. In addition, each student will receive private instruction from Dr. Mark Snyder (oboe) or Mr. Robert Phillips (bassoon).
DOUBLE REED INSTITUTE TUITION: $300 (in addition to regular NYSMF tuition and fees)
