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.
