As a result of the Chicago Symphony Brass tradition, Chicago became a center for brass students throughout the world. Students have come to Dale Clevenger to learn the great tradition of CSO brass playing. He has taught at Northwestern University and now is on the faculty of Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago.
Roosevelt University
Preparing for a life in music requires an unwavering desire to perform and perfect one's art. Brass Performance majors arrive with artistic desire and leave with the skills and knowledge to begin a life in music. Studio lessons and participation in recitals, chamber music, and large ensembles form the nucleus of a performer's training. In recent years, alumni have won orchestra positions in Spain, Germany, Colorado, Puerto Rico, China, Los Angeles, Canada, Malaysia, Fort Worth, Japan, France and Kansas City. Led by Chicago Symphony Principal Trombone Jay Friedman, the Music Conservatory brass faculty, many of whom are in positions of prominence in the Chicago musical community, provide mentorship and direction to our students. They include members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Lyric Opera Orchestra.
