The Baylor Clarinet Day is aimed to help top high school students prepare their TMEA All state etudes for the upcoming region auditions. In addition to a masterclass on the TMEA all state etudes, students will get to participate in mock auditions and receive written feedback from Baylor University faculty, attend a presentation on clarinet repair with Shelly Tanabe, and partake in an interactive seminar dealing with performance anxiety and mental preparation for auditions.

In addition to all these activities, the students will get to perform a concert with the Baylor University Clarinet Choir and try instruments and other clarinet equipment from our sponsors and vendors.

This event is open to all high school students including those who play Bb clarinet, Eb clarinet, bass clarinet and other clarinet auxiliaries.
