are some of the things we do at MAVI: ·

highest level possible ·
Offer daily instrumental seminars on subjects that are applicable at
all levels, such as shifting, tone, technique and phrasing ·
Offer daily coaching on orchestral excerpts and chamber music ·
Offer master classes, repertoire classes and performance
opportunities for all participants. ·
Offer supplemental topics including theory, college preparation, new
music and freelance skills ·
Prepare students for college/conservatory auditions. Here are some of the things we do NOT do at MAVI: ·
Contradict technical instruction of any private teacher ·
Solicit private students for our faculty ·
Recruit for any college or school As
teachers, we know how important these ethical considerations are. Musicians
who come to MAVI are presented with many approaches to playing by our
faculty. We encourage everyone to consider new ideas and to notice the diversity
of suggestions they receive. Participants leave our Festival with inspiration
to study and practice harder, and with an increased respect for themselves as
artists. It
is our sincere hope that you will apply for the 2010 MAVI Festival.
