Tuba & Euphonium Workshop

Wednesday, June 20 - Saturday, June 23, 2012

This specialized workshop for tuba & euphonium players gives students an opportunity to focus on literature and skills specific to their instrument. Campers will work alongside FSU faculty members to study solo and ensemble literature, tone production, technique development, how to practice for maximum effectiveness and how to prepare for an audition. Students will attend master classes and practice sessions. All students practice and perform in a small ensemble.

In general, required camp activities take place from 8am-5pm. A sample schedule has been provided below. Due to the short time span of this workshop, there may be some required night activities as well. Students attending this workshop should be prepared to attend fundamental classes, ensemble rehearsals and masterclasses taking place from 7:00-9:30pm. Official schedules are distributed at check-in, but you can click here for a sample evening schedule.

For an even more extensive experience, consider combining the Tuba & Euphonium Workshop with our Middle School or High School Band Camp. The individual attention of the workshop combined with large ensemble instruction creates the ideal, well-rounded instructional experience. Discounts are available to students who register & apply for this workshop & our band camps. Visit our discounts page for more information on how to apply for this discount.
