PRIORITY CLARINET AND MUSIC EVENTS
2018
June 2018 Newsletter
For all serious students heading for or in college to consider
The German Higher Education System
TUITION FREE
With
the prevailing problems evident in the US College system with astronomic tuition
rates, as high as $50,000 per year, and multiply this for 4 years for a
Bachelors degree, then adding another $100,000 for a Masters degree, plus Living
expenses. and the luring of students to take college loans and result in college
debt that may never be repaid,the government will not excuse a student loan
default, and with the government cuts in funding and worse,
why should American students go to school in
the US? For music majors, with no tangible future beyond
graduation here, It is in the hands of students to decide and take the
initiative. In noting the successes of American students for Orchestral
positions and winning International Competitions, it is a sad commentary to see
that very few Americans win Internationally, and why? Possibly that they
get 2nd rate professional training, or/and they are so financially strapped that
they cannot afford to compete? There are numerous Musik Hochshulen
(Conservatories) offering high standard programs along with schools outside of
Germany, notably the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Austria, (Wenzel
Fuchs, Professor, the Sibelius Conservatory in Helsinki, Finland, Harri
Maki, Professor, Learning the language is important
(Check
www.fluenz.com) but courses are taught in English. For more

San Francisco Jazz Festival Tribute to Benny Goodman with Band including Senior
VIP Eddie Daniels and VIP
Anat Cohen with Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat
Band
At the leading edge of a wave of
brilliant Israeli improvisers who have energized the New York jazz scene, Cohen
is the most acclaimed clarinetist of her generation, topping DownBeat Critics
and Readers Polls in the clarinet category for eight consecutive years. She’s
embraced 21st century modern jazz, Brazilian music, and swing with equal aplomb,
recording her sublime 2010 Anzic Records session Clarinetwork at the Village
Vanguard during the Benny Goodman centennial celebration. New York-born Daniels
began as a 13-year-old prodigy, making a name at 25 for his work with the
legendary Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra and working with a legion of artists
from Bob James and Dave Grusin to Freddie Hubbard and Billy Joel. The five-time
GRAMMY nominee has recorded nearly 30 albums over his career, including his 1992
Benny Goodman tribute album Benny Rides Again, co-led with vibraphone master
Gary Burton. Daniels guested with Goodwin on their 1999 debut Swingin’ for the
Fences. Formed in 2000 by the GRAMMY and Emmy-winning Goodwin, whose resume
includes Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, Toni Braxton and Christina
Aguilera, the Big Phat Band has released a series of dazzling records that
reflect Goodwin’s influences – Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Buddy Rich, Earth,
Wind & Fire, Tower of Power – and showcase a well-oiled ensemble with star guest
soloists like Arturo Sandoval, Eddie Daniels, Dianne Reeves, Patti Austin and
Chick Corea.

Ostrava Clarinet & Saxophone Master Classes
Ostrava, Czech Republic
Dear Clarinet and Saxophone players,
We would like to invite you to the 17th annual summer master classes in
Ostrava from 29th of June to 6th of July 2018. Ostrava is the 3rd
biggest city in the Czech Republic, located in North Moravia, 300
kilometers east of Prague. This course will give you the opportunity to
work very intensively with excellent players and teachers. During one
week you will have at least 5 individual lessons (45-minutes each)! This
is a big difference compared to other similar courses, where you have
seldom more than two lessons. Besides studying your repertoire and new
pieces, you could work with us for example on developing your tone
quality, speed of staccato, good breathing or to learn some of the new
techniques (slap tongue, double staccato, circular breathing, etc).
There will be 3 professional pianists available for accompaniment during
the lessons and a clarinet repair specialist. There are enough
practicing rooms and you will be free to attend listening of any of the
courses (usually we have about 50 students, aged from 12 to 60, mostly
advanced and medium advanced). We will organize few teachers and
participants concerts which will be recorded live, we will give you
these professional recordings. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more
information, or visit our web- page including more information, pictures
and recordings from previous years.

See you in Ostrava!
