Venue : Schulich School of Music, room C-310, 555 Sherbrooke West, Montréal (same building as last year, but a different room)
Times : 11.30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.
(Optional pre-meeting at 11.00 in Java U café, across the street from the Schulich School)

Draft program:

2. Maintenance/reed adjustment/tuning (30 minutes)
3. Discussion of technique - "Phrasing a tune" (30 minutes)
4. Session (90 minutes)
5. Conclusion/tidy-up (15 minutes)

One of the many advantages of bellows-driven pipes is that we can drink, eat, smoke and drink without having to pause the music.
