Dear Band Director, Clarinet Instructor, or Clarinetist,

My name is Jana Starling and I am the newly hired clarinet professor in the music department at the University of Western Ontario.   On behalf of the music department, Marie Johnson,
Peter Shackleton, and myself and the UWO clarinet students, we invite clarinetists of all ages and levels for a day of  -

*a performance with the UWO Clarinet Choir     
*UWO faculty  & friends recital
*merchandise tables with mouthpieces, barrels, instruments,
 sheet music and reeds all for trial and purchase

AND a recital and class by our special guest artist, clarinetist, Dr. Anne Watson!

 

 

Clarinetists at all levels will have the opportunity to improve their playing skills and learn more about their instrument.  In addition, participants can perform on stage with the 30-some university clarinet majors in UWO’s Clarinet Choir!
