Although not auditioned, students are requested to submit a very short assessment video demonstrating their playing ability level using this form.
Students should prepare Faure’s Sicillienne (attached) and the following scales:
C Major (Two Octaves starting on your lowest C)
Bb Major (One Octave)
G Major (Two Octaves)
This ensemble is ideal preparation for the Groton Hill Wind Ensemble.
Flutist Kevin Buff has appeared on the stages of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Kodak Hall at Eastman Theater. Originally hailing from Syracuse, New York, he has been a featured concerto soloist with the Onondaga Civic Symphony Orchestra on numerous occasions, as well as with the Central New York Flute Choir.
Following his completion of a BM in Flute Performance at Ithaca College, Buff has established a career making flute headjoints at Wm. S. Haynes, America’s first flute making institution.
