Classical Connections: Music Education

The student organization Classical Connections worked regularly with Brown County High School band students through mentoring clinics and all-day musical events. Four clinics connected small groups of Jacobs musicians with high schoolers in one-on-one coaching sessions and group sectional rehearsals. Classical Connections students participated in these clinics continuously, which allowed the high school band members to connect with the same mentors more than once and form valuable relationships. Several all-day events additionally offered larger masterclasses, panel discussions, performances and side-by-side rehearsals between the mentors and high school students.
