BRASS INSTRUMENT RESIDENCIES Residencies with Norlan Bewley are a series of events and activities scheduled on a daily basis (7 hours), from one day up to five days in length. Compared to clinics, residencies allow a more in-depth teaching approach and retention as there is more time for everyone involved. Advancement through education is the goal, so longer residencies are discounted in price compared to shorter ones. A residency "day" is 7 hours per day. 1 Day Residency 2 Day Residency 3 Day Residency 4 Day Residency 5 Day Residency Residency Activities Low Brass Ensemble Rehearsal Clinics Low Brass Sectionals for Host Ensembles (Band, Orchestra, Jazz Band) Low Brass Section Coachings (during rehearsal) for same Contest Solo and Ensemble Coachings Chamber Ensemble Coachings Private Lessons Instruction and Assistance for "Switchovers" to Low Brass Low Brass Demonstrations for Program Recruitment * Concert with Host Ensembles, featuring Solo appearances and Low Brass Ensemble performance * Music Composition and Arranging Instruction * * These activities are only for 3, 4, or 5 day residencies.
