As a student in the mentoring program with the New World Symphony fellows, I was invited to a masterclass last Thursday with John Bruce Yeh.
If anyone remembers my comments about the masterclass with Mark Nuccio I was invited to two years ago, this is the same situation except this was a general clarinet masterclass instead of an orchestral audition masterclass.
The three fellows and a sub. performed for Mr. Yeh. They played Beet. 6, Tosca, La Forza Del Destino, Tchaik 6, Mendelssohn MSND Scherzo excerpts, and the Nielsen Concerto as well as the Berio Sequenza. It was quite informative, and Mr. Yeh used a lot of playing by example, which I like in masterclasses.
He talked to me about studying at Roosevelt, and I think he would be a great teacher to study under, for any of the people in my same boat(undergrad school shopping) or looking at Grad schools. He says they have a truly great orchestral training program, and the Civic is right there obviously as well as the CSO.
