Come to Bloomington and work with three international performers/teachers in a hands-on approach to clarinet performance in today’s world.  Through a combination of master classes, group lessons and private lessons, Howard Klug, Steve Cohen and Eric Mandat will work with you to identify your unique issues…and help you develop approaches towards solving them.
