@Valerie Rollheiser That’s terrific. What a good start to becoming a good ensemble player. Awareness of others it so important! (In band and life;) 🧡.

@Elizabeth Glee Devereaux This seat mimics sitting on a yoga ball. I take it to very gig and happily feel at home.

@Elizabeth Glee Devereaux Yes- there are recordings of every masterclass plus more resources in the classroom section. I hope they help you. Also- I sometimes change the weekly masterclass time- so it may just line up for you one of these days. Keep checking the calendar function.

I'm SO glad.

Erin Brophey • 7m @Christi Allison I would use a nice double tongue in this section for sure. If that isn’t in your skill set- then there are a couple options. 1) does anyone in your section double tongue? It can sound really effective if one of you double tongues and the other slurs everything. 2) you could create some slurred articulations that highlight the architecture of the line. I will post a photo below with some suggestions to add in slurs.

@Christi Allison @Carol Lowne @Christi Allison Adding in some tasteful slurs can help your tongue chill out and save the energy for the repeated passages. When I’m double-tonguing, I often throw in some single tongues here and there to give my tongue a rest and vice versa. You can use this same technique with slurring. Remember- Mussorgsky did not play a wind instrument. He did now write this part for you to sound bad. Do what you need to do to sell the music.
