Monthly Masterclass Series 3, The Wonderful World of Vowels!

 Greetings to all!


This is a reminder that my 3rd masterclass in my Monthly Masterclass Series will be this coming Saturday Saturday, March 27  from 11-12:30pm EDT . This masterclass is called The Wonderful World of Vowels! This masterclass has an underlying meaning which has to do with transitions. Transitions are a very important part of developing subtlety in our awareness, listening and playing. It also works on range, articulation, dynamic contrast, sound stability, timbre variations and the interior and exterior embouchure anatomy! What does this have to do with vowels? you might ask. The short answer is a TON! And actually much more than that. No joke or exaggeration.  We will be a lot of experimenting together in this masterclass. 

AND! How can you really speak about vowels and not bring up consonants??  :-)

A donation of $10 for students and 15-$20 for all others working and out of school is required. If there is a real hardship with this price for some of you, please get in touch with me soon.  Those who are interested in attending, whom I don’t know yet and have never participated in any of my offerings, please send me an email as soon as you are able.  Please send your donations to paypal.me/vierabolter. There is a place to mark down what you are paying for. Please put Bolter Masterclass in that area.Thank you in advance. Also feel free to pass this email along to all those that might be interested .If you are sending this email to others whom I might not have emails for, please have them send me an email so they can get a Zoom link and get on the email list.  
Please have your donation in by Friday, March 26th by the end of the evening. If you are late, please send in your donation as soon as possible on Saturday (the 27th), morning and email me normtobe (at) gmail (dot) com or text me 617-759-1620 by 10:30am EDT. If you have not received an email from me by 10:30am EDT on 3/26 and have already paid, PLEASE get in touch with me asap. Only those that have sent in the donation will get the Zoom link.

This masterclass will be beneficial for all brass players, performers professionals, students at all levels and of course those that teach. 

I’m looking forward to being and working with many of you this Saturday March 27th!

To your well being,

Norman
Mr. Bolter
etc..

P.S. Bring your instruments. and an open mind! :-) No one will ever be asked to play or called upon to speak. All will be muted unless asking a question or commenting.
