22 Terrace Review —~ Wednesday. November 20, 199! Travelling expert © gives sax advice by Betty Barton — — _ School District #88 band stu- dents and community band mem- bers were shown ways of "mak- ing their lives easier as reed players" last week by saxophon- ist David Branter. Branter is a saxophonist with the Vancouver Symphony or- chestra, his own quartet and with saxoduo. He has recorded with all of these groups, as well as for CBC radio and the Indiana Saxophone Quartet. He is an instructor at the UBC school of music and at the Vancouver Community College, where he was recently appointed head of the music department. In addi- tion to his activities as a clinician and adjudicator, he is also the director of jazz ensembles at VCC and associate conductor of the Pacific Wind Ensemble. Branter did a number of work- shops throughout the area with saxophone and clarinet band students, sponsored by School District #88, Yamaha Music Canada and Terrace Sight & Sound. "I like young players to play really strong," he said in an interview, "The basic concept is to pay close attention to the things you already know, and you'll play a whole lot better." Branter says his workshops reinforce the day-to-day instru- ment learning of the students. He enjoys playing "for the kids" and giving them the oppor- tunity to find out that they can do (musical) things right away. Last Saturday in Terrace, Bran- ter worked with band members from five elementary schools in groups of four to seven students, Along with inspirational music tips, Branter also shared some practical advice. "Get several reeds going at once. It is ideal to rotate them. They last longer and you don’t need to go through the tedious process of breaking in a new one if you do this all the ALL TOGETHER NOW. Music students in Terrace gl adly take advantage of professionals like saxophonist David Branter when they're in town. Workshops offared by itinerant experts are one way northwest students can keep up with their urban counterparts. time."
