Dear Colleagues,

Please note that in addition to our undergraduate positions, I have one opening for a graduate assistantship for Fall ’08. I am looking for strong well-rounded players who need a place to further refine their skills and prepare to enter the performing world. This new TA will join a recent New England Conservatory graduate in the UMASS Graduate Brass Quintet that receives weekly coaching from the brass faculty and performs as an outreach arm of the Department of Music and Dance.

Please let me know if you have any students who would be interested in this assistantship opportunity. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Eric Berlin
