Who should attend Woodwind Camp?
The goal of Woodwinds @ Wallowa Lake is to provide a high quality camp specifically to serve woodwind and French horn students from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
Who Should Come to Camp?
Any middle or high school flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, French horn, or saxophone player who:
Can play music independently in a small group
Knows how to play a 2-octave chromatic scale
Knows all the notes on their instrument within their playing range
Can prepare part of a solo or an etude for first day placement audition
You must be able to read music to attend camp. This includes being able to identify each note on the staff within your playing range, understand time and key signatures, recognize accidentals, and have a basic understanding of terms for tempo and dynamics.
Flutists: To ensure the best experience, we request that all flutists review the following etude. The etude represents our “bare minimum” playing level. If you’re comfortable practicing and playing the etude, then you’re at the right level for camp.
Clarinetists: To ensure the best experience, we request that all clarinetists review the following etudes, which are the audition etudes for camp. These represent our “bare minimum” playing level. If you’re comfortable practicing and playing the etude, then you’re at the right level for camp.
Here are the audition etudes for camp.
