Summary
The Soma Saxophone Quartet is breaking new ground building connections in Bedford, Indiana. The four saxophone students networked with music teachers at Bedford Middle School to develop interactive curriculum exposing students to entertaining quartet repertoire. In their first clinic, the Soma Quartet performed for forty middle school students, sharing insight from their work as saxophonists and making their lessons applicable for students with varying interests. They held focused workshops with smaller groups of music-interested students after the larger performance. Following the success of this first visit, the Soma Saxophone Quartet is working with the Bedford community to establish a sustained relationship and schedule additional visits.
