Marine Band Podcast

Chris Carbone recently shared this: “I’ve always felt that practice techniques are a missing piece for me, especially now that I need to maximize the time that I have,so I shared my process and progress on facebook.  One of my friends, who plays clarinet in the President’s Own, shared a podcast they put out. This one specifically focuses on practice techniques.  Sometimes I fall into the trap of thinking that these parts are easy for everyone but me, but here they debunk that and share some really good tips.”

With the Bernstein and Hindemith on the horizon, effective practice is something everyone should think about. Thank you for sharing, Chris!

I booked Taylor Swift for our Fall 2024 concert! She will sing Barton’s arrangements of French Mediterranean folk songs. The concert will be sub-titled “The Rivi-ERAS Tour.”
