Masterworks Music Festival with Diana Haskell - Clarinetist in St Louis Symphony

 

Cedarville, Ohio

 

 

   

 

 

Washington Post: "Few clarinetists play with such love, intelligence and delight in their instrument's capacities..." (Tim Page) 
~~~~

"The MasterWorks Clarinet Intensive really helped me grow in my musical technique as well as in my faith. Diana Haskell is so special because she is able to create a wonderful balance between being a spiritual mentor and being an assertive clarinet teacher. Her vast experience of playing Eb clarinet professionally also gave us the opportunity to learn how to make the Eb clarinet an amazing auxiliary to play."  (Laura Hundert, Eastman School of Music, Clarinet Intensive Student, 2015) 

I enjoyed every moment at the MasterWorks Clarinet Intensive program! The amount of individual attention we were given over the two weeks was incredibly helpful because our instructor was able to really know our playing ability. I  learned so much about my own playing and was challenged to be even better throughout my time at WISP. One of my favorite parts was how the instructors incorporated our faith into our music lessons. The testimonials throughout the weeks were inspiring and have helped me grow as a continual follower of Christ. (Julia Janda, Artist Diploma, UMKC, Clarinet Intensive 2015)


Clarinet Intensive program at MasterWorks Festival will be held from July 3-July 17, 2016. Go to MasterWorks Festival website for details on fees and auditions.

Clarinet Intensive is designed for conservatory, university and advanced high school clarinetists motivated to refine their musical abilities through intense individual study, all within a collaborative Christian environment. Note: one does not need to be a Christian to attend! 

Clarinet Intensive is ideal for students desiring to learn or master solo, recital, audition or concerto repertoire. Students may also use their time in refining fundamentals. Three hours of practice time are scheduled each day, along with personal mentoring, two private lessons per week, devotions, a mock audition, performance classes and recitals. To optimize practice time, clarinet chamber groups will be assigned as time permits.

Festival-wide spiritual activities occur throughout the day in an integration of faith and art. Bible study materials are geared towards biblical issues relating to artists. Small groups of students and faculty meet Monday through Thursday and are a requirement for all festival participants. Please refer to the spiritual life section on the MasterWorks website for more information.

Students will receive the most benefit at Clarinet Intensive by bringing upcoming repertoire for study. To optimize practice and performance time, clarinet chamber groups will be assigned only if time permits. Mrs. Haskell will be happy to assist in choosing repertoire based on conversations with each student prior to coming to MasterWorks.

8                  Breakfast

Daily study includes private lessons, master classes, recital performances, classes on warming up, reed making and adjusting, orchestral performing, and audition success. Housing will be with guest families.

 

Since 1996, the Belgian Clarinet Academy had provided a week long, intensive immersion in clarinet. Each student receives at least 3 private lessons, participates in clarinet ensembles, receives chamber music coaching, observes and performs in master classes and has the opportunity to take classes in special topics like reed making and adjusting, audition preparation, effective practice and even period clarinet performance. The whole course is based on the philosophy that the more you perform, observe, be observed and interact with other clarinetists, the better clarinetist you become!

 

We share lunch and coffee breaks together during each day for the specific goal that we have the chance to interact in both a personal and professional setting. Our evening recitals, accompanied by professional pianists, are open to the public and draw a full house!

 

While we don't offer scholarships, the tuition is extremely low and free housing is provided with host families. Many students return  every year and request the same families! It is a wonderful way to experience Belgian culture. Guido Six works diligently to make certain the families match each student.
