Make sure you are reaching out to your private lesson teachers for additional help, if you have not already done so.
Leadership Training Opportunity:
For those interested in auditioning for a leadership position in the GEB, SASI is offering FREE leadership audition preparation seminars every Friday from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM for the next 4 weeks! Please see attachment for more information and make sure to register!
From SASI:
All students need to do is sign up online on the SASI website; we will disseminate the specifics by Friday at noon each week. The seminars will be hosted on the Zoom platform and will cover an introduction into both student leadership and conducting.
Please note – there is a 500 person limit for each date. Each seminar will be similar to the others to give as many participants a foundational introduction to student leadership and/or conducting and provide tools for their respective auditions moving forward.
