The Saskatchewan Band Association has been fast-tracking new Online/Virtual Band Musician Development resources. We want to provide all Band musicians impacted by COVID-19 concert cancellations and restrictions with opportunities to remain engaged with band.
We are proud of our initial Online Resources – a series of instrument specific videos provided by dedicated Saskatchewan band clinicians FOR Saskatchewan band musicians. When it is complete the series will have more than 40 videos (each about 15 min.) focusing on technique for all levels, from beginner to advanced. We are adding more resources and opportunities to ensure band musicians of all ages can have a variety of options to play, improve and even just feel connected while bands are unable to get together to rehearse.
SIGNING UP to the Interest List ensures we have your basic contact information. We will then send you updates as new resources or connection opportunities become available. By signing up you will receive:
- Links to videos made by SK musicians for Sask musicians like you
- Links to live online sessions
- Links to live &/or recorded master class style topics
- Invitations to participate in networking events Â
The SBA is also pleased to provide you with immediate access to the 2 videos below by Dean McNeill. The first video provides tips to help musicians get the most from their practice time. The second is specifically developed for all brass players … and will be appreciated by family and neighbours at this time!
Stay tuned for more Instrumental Clinic options
