Haven't played your instrument for years? It doesn't matter! Here's your chance to become reacquainted with an art and activity that you once enjoyed. Repertoire includes music of many different styles and time periods. Music majors are encouraged to participate on secondary instruments in order to expand their knowledge and skills in music performance and education.
- Dust off that case!
- Dig out those fingering charts.
- Re-convert that lamp into the trumpet it used to be!
- But most importantly, don't miss this opportunity to continue or renew your love of performance.
