2027 All-State Double Reed Day
(Dates to be announced soon!)
Oboists and bassoonists in grades 6 through 12 are welcome to join Professor Hassan
Anderson, Professor Mike Harley, and members of the University of South Carolina double
reed studios in special sessions hosted by SC high schools. Students and music directors
from any school district, both in-state and out-of-state, may attend any of these
dates, and as many of these days as they wish. We hope you find one that works for
you on a date and in a location that works for you!
Each all-state day will include:
- A short, informal recital by Prof. Anderson, Prof. Harley, and members of the USC oboe and bassoon studios
- Masterclasses on this year’s all-state etudes and audition preparation
- Fundamentals / topical workshops
- Reed adjustment and a limited number of reeds for sale
- Try a contrabassoon or English horn
- A group play-along to end the day!
- Depending on the number of students registered, we anticipate plenty of time for targeted, individual help
If you do wish to visit the beautiful University of South Carolina campus and School of Music, we encourage you to attend the USC Band Clinic, February 11-14, 2027. Additionally, you are welcome to contact Prof. Anderson or Prof. Harley to schedule an individual visit and lesson.
