 Dr. Brian Kilp |
Dr. Brian Kilp, hornist with the New Sousa Band and horn teacher at Indiana State University, will use the IVASI system (see IVASI website), an audition prep and rehearsal tool that allows individuals or an entire brass section to actually sit in a virtual orchestra, watch a live conductor on a big screen, and play through or rehearse complete symphonic literature.
Dr. Kilp will spend a couple hours with just horns in the morning and do a couple more hours incorporating as many of the brass students as want to play (people can rotate in and out with ease; passages can be repeated easily, etc.), and end the day again with just horns doing horn ensemble kind of things.
Students will work on Shostakovich’s “Symphony No. 5,” Tchaikovsky’s “Symphony No. 4,” Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries,” and Strauss’s “Don Juan.”
