Abstract:
The objective of this project is to lay out a structure by which music educators and
officials of state music organizations may begin to incorporate the clarinet and percussion duo
into the festival performance schedules in their respective states. The document explains the
significance of both festival performance as well as the benefits of utilizing this ensemble as part
of a student-centered learning curriculum. Included in this project is the educational rationale for
student-centered learning benefits around the ensemble, the process for organization of pieces by
level, instructions for arranging for the ensemble, and a list of works that officials can use to
begin their repertoire list. This document should be enough guidance to provide educators with
the necessary information to begin the process in their home state. In the future, additions will
be made to this document to increase its educational value to the music education community.
