Since the CL, QL, M7CL and LS9 consoles share similar software features, combining their previously individual seminars into two classes eliminates redundancy while underscoring common features found through the Yamaha lineup. Buena Park, CA (July 24, 2014)-Yamaha Commercial Audio Training Sessions (YCATS) has reformatted its console seminars into two new console classes-Console Operation Levels 1 and 2, while adding two new classes about use of the desks with Dante and more.

With that said, the cheapest way to buy reeds is in bulk-try not to buy only one at a time, because your student WILL go through a lot of these. It’s important to have 2-3 good reeds in your case at all times to be ready for when one reed needs to be retired. Having a good reed is the best way for a student to achieve a good sound, plain and simple. If you are taking clarinet, oboe, or bassoon lessons you will need reeds.

Unlike string instruments that come in ¼ size, ½ size, etc., woodwinds come in a one-size-fits-all instrument, and in actuality, they certainly do NOT fit all! For this reason, we do not recommend starting a child on a woodwind instrument before the age of 10. What is the minimum age for woodwind lessons? Typical lessons include scales or technique exercises, standard solos from the repertoire, jazz improvisation, and even modern music.
Lessons help to foster comfort in performing, grow your sight-reading skills, and give you the tools to have successful auditions. As a result, students won't have the hassle of correcting early habits of posture, hand position, and fingerings. Through the personalized guidance of a private instructor, good habits can be formed from the start. Private music instruction is a great way to supplement and enhance the training woodwind students are getting from a school band class or give your child instruction if their school does not offer music in the curriculum. What instruments are taught in the woodwinds studio?ĬSM's woodwind studio comprises our flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and saxophone lessons.
