Subj: [kl] Seventh Grade Band Class
Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2004 19:15:54 -0500

Hi, we're visiting children and grandchildren in CA for the holidays and
I've got some time (maybe 20 or 30 minutes) with my twin granddaughters' 7th
grade middle school honors band class. I'm not sure what, if anything, the
teacher has in mind for me, but I need a plan. I've thought about detailing
my history and its lessons (high school bandsman, 43 years of not playing,
and now that I'm retired, 5 years of catching up--with lessons, a local
symphony orchestra, two fairly serious wind ensembles, two quintets, and 3
marching bands). Also, some comments on equipment and intonation and
playing a short trio or two with the grandkids--clarinet, clarinet and
flute. Any ideas about attention span, interest, etc., etc.? They may
want/need a "clarinet clinic"--but they're not sure what that means! Any
help would be appreciated--Monday the 5th is the day. Thanks.

Bob
