“The purpose of this free clinic is to help students learn their music for this year’s All-Region Band auditions,” said Dr. Sarah Roberts, UT Tyler assistant professor and workshop coordinator. “TMEA etudes will be the focus of the morning workshop, and ATSSB etudes will be the afternoon workshop. Students are asked to register prior to the event, though day-of registration is accepted but not preferred.”
