survey for woodwinds
Dear Carl and Des Moines Community Orchestra,
Greetings! My name is Ana Nelson, and I run a summer program for adult woodwind players called Virtual Woodwind Academy. I am an MM sax/clarinet grad of Indiana University (classical and jazz performance), and formed the program with Peabody flute grad Amanda Dame. I’m trying to connect with more adults to get feedback on what we’re offering at the program, to make sure that we are delivering what people need.
I was wondering if you may be able to forward a short survey to the woodwind players in the Des Moines Community Orchestra? I love the mission of the ensemble and connecting players from a variety of musical backgrounds. We have connected with several other area community music groups, and have received very helpful responses.
As a thank you, we’ll be inviting everyone to a free masterclass on developing your practice routine! You are welcome to come as well if you’d like.
