Vespertine Formations

This is a music-themed blog by The Man Octave (themanoctave.tumblr.com). I can't follow you back on this blog, but if I like your blog I'll follow you on my main.

I'm a Junior in college studying Instrumental and Vocal Music Education, with a primary on trumpet and an intended Jazz minor. My passion lies in Marching Band/Drum Corps, Jazz, and worship music, but I understand the importance of teaching all disciplines and all musical concepts. You can also view my online teaching portfolio by clicking the world icon below.

This blog will serve as a place to express my thoughts and share my love of music throughout my endeavors as a musician. Mostly, you'll just see pictures of instruments, but I like to post education related things as well. Enjoy!

My intonation on this Bass Clarinet has been all kinds of wacky, so I jerry-rigged my clip-on tuner for Concert Band rehearsal for today to help me make my adjustments in context :) Now that I know which way I have to correct in what register, that should help me stay more in tune with the rest of the band 

i had a terrible time playing contrabass last year…i hate the contrabass…i’ll never look at bass clarinets the same way again.

… This is a pretty smart idea… #stealing it
