For visitors who are not current students, feel free to draw on the ideas found in the Outline/Syllabus. Do not re-publish any part of the Course Outline, nor distribute it, nor charge a fee for any part of the Course Outline. Thank you. — The Management.

All auditionees were acceptable. However, due to restraints on class size, we were not able to accept more than two students for this year.

To all who auditioned, accepted or not - well done! To those who were not excepted, please feel free to contact the Instructor directly if you will be re-auditioning next year. Do not give up on your dreams!

Any student intending to auditioning at UVic would be advised to take a few lessons with the Instructor well before their audition date. Contact the Instructor through the School of Music Faculty & Staff main web page.

Lessons can be done in person or live-stream/Skype.

— P.S. We welcome Baylie and Tessa to the Class!

Master Class Time/Locale Change

As confirmed in a previous group email, due to scheduling considerations, the Master Class will be in B016 on Wednesdays at 2:30pm. However, because of further scheduling challenges created by the shift of Master Class, Quartets will now begin at 3:30pm, 4:30pm and 5:30pm instead of 1:30pm.

• A private lesson time has been made available from 1:30pm to 2:20pm.

The Lesson Schedule is now posted on the door of the Saxophone Studio, B080, for students to sign up for a lesson time. Please note:

• Check your class schedule before signing up for a lesson so you can keep the same saxophone lesson time for both the first and second semesters.

The Saxophone Syllabus will be updated online at the end of the first week of September to reflect the changes and to take into consideration any further accommodations that may need to be made.

The first Master Class, Sept. 3rd, will be held in B016 immediate following the welcome back gathering of the General Assembly, at 2:30pm as scheduled.

• We will necessarily need to discuss the PTY Recital Hall schedule in order to give students performance time in the bigger space.

The Concert Etude will not be posted online. The Etude will be announced in the first Master Class. Copies of the Comparative Performance Memory Piece will be made available in the first Master Class.

See you all soon!—W.C.
