More about the Institute
In a spirit of camaraderie with other brass players, feel your
confidence grow as you learn warm-up methods that facilitate
RANGE, POWER, ENDURANCE, AND CONTROL.
Technique masterclasses and group lessons will give you
a stronger foundation for playing everything from Baroque
and Classical to 20th century and jazz. Participants who
do not come with a preexisting will be placed in a quartet/quintet
which will explore appropriate level music and receive private
coaching from rotating members of the Epic Brass. During
lunch make new friends with Institute musicians and discuss
the "brass shop talk" we all love.

After lunch, pull up a chair next to an Epic Brass member
during an interactive EBQ open rehearsal where on the spot
questions are encouraged. Discover important differences
between reading, technical, and dress rehearsals. Learn new
strategies that you can incorporate into your own practice sessions
to get the most out of your time on the horn.
During the performance class, Institute quintets will perform
for each other and receive coaching from all five Epic Brass
members on ensemble, intonation, tone, rhythm, musicality,
stage presence, and how to communicate your art more effectively
to an audience.
Perform great brass ensemble literature
with members of the Epic Brass and your fellow Institute
participants in the Institute's large brass ensemble conducted by
Earl Raney, Institute director, and Music Director & Conductor of the
Great Woods Chamber Orchestra, Southeastern Massachusetts Wind Symphony,
and Atlantic Wind Symphony.
