One hour clinic with Ben Blessing

One-Hour Ensemble Clinic with Mr. Ben Blessing

Bring fresh energy, artistry, and momentum to your ensemble with a one-hour clinic designed specifically for band, choir, small ensembles, or orchestra programs.

As an experienced educator and award-recognized composer, I work with directors and students to elevate both the musical and human elements of rehearsal. Whether you’re preparing for festival, building tone and ensemble cohesion, or refining expressive details, I offer practical, immediately applicable feedback that strengthens performance and deepens musical understanding.

What your ensemble can expect:

• Focused work on tone, balance, blend, and musical phrasing, as well as the creative mind of the composer

• Rehearsal strategies directors can implement right away

• Practical musicianship instruction tailored to your ensemble’s level

• Encouraging, high-energy teaching that builds student confidence

• Insight from a nationally performed composer and veteran band director

I specialize in helping ensembles move from simply “playing the notes” to making meaningful music.

Rate: $50 per hour
