October Master Lessons with Dr. Ronaldo Rolim of UPS

Master Lesson UPDATE: Dr. Ronaldo Rolim of UPS gave excellent Master Lessons to our students. And students all had a great opportunity to practice “performing” for an expert pedagogue and performer!

Here are some pieces of advice that came up several times.

  1. Every note matters! Give each note the attention it needs and deserves. Be crisp and clear!

  2. Bring out your character - clearly! Think of what instrument (piccolo? big band?) or personality (inviting? impulsive? insanity?) you want it to have. COMMUNICATE as a musician!

  3. Tell a compelling story, make it personal!

  4. Have a “Bird’s Eye View” of the entire piece. Don’t get stuck on minutiae, but tell each part with the whole story in mind.

    Thank you, Dr. Rolim!
