We explored this in studio class this week, helping senior clarinet performance major Julia get ready for next week’s Concerto/Aria Competition by having her run through her piece while some of us took notes and others distracted her 😂

This week in studio class, we analyzed our own practice sessions and discussed what we observed as we practice: how productive are we, what strategies we used, and how self-regulated we are in our own learning! #MakeItMillikin #millikinclarinet

It was the coolest temps for the Labor Day Pops concert in a long time… in the words of one student: “It’s a miracle.” 😂

Congratulations to Julia, Bradley and Isabella!
