Saxophone Studio
UGA Saxophone Day
Sunday, Nov. 5, 2023
1:00pm - 5:00pm
Auditions for All-State and collegiate music programs can be scary --
but they don’t have to be!
The UGA Saxophone Studio will host
our Saxophone Day to help high school
students prepare auditions for All-State
and collegiate music programs!
At the UGA Saxophone Day, you’ll work with Dr. Quarles on your saxophone fundamentals, practice techniques, and gain specific knowledge about auditioning for All-State and undergraduate music study. You’ll also hear performances from current UGA saxophone students and hear directly from them about their experience as a music major. Selected participants will have the opportunity to work on the All-State etude with Dr. Quarles in a masterclass setting (see below for more information).
​
NEW THIS YEAR: Saxophone Day participants will play together in a saxophone ensemble alongside current UGA saxophone students. There will be a performance of the saxophone ensemble at the conclusion of the program for parents and family to enjoy. See the schedule below for concert time!
​
The UGA Saxophone Day is completely free! Students must register using this Google Form and parents must complete the Minors Authorization Form in order to attend the events.
​
So what are you waiting for? Register today and join us for the UGA Saxophone Day!
