The Total Clarinet

Part of the Ed Joffe Woodwind Doubling Masterclass Series, The Total Clarinet masterclass will use selected classical and jazz etudes from Rose, Cavellini, and Artie Shaw as a means for discussing various challenges that all doubling clarinetists must attend to on a daily basis. These include legato finger technique; resonant articulations; flexibility and uniformity of tone; stylistic integrity; and equipment needs for classical, commercial and jazz performance. The influences of Daniel Bonade, Benny Goodman and Buddy DeFranco will be examined.
