The design of the site has changed a little in recent days to accomodate for content updates.  There are two new pages to check out.  First, you will find a resources page where you can download pdfs of the studio syllabus, scales, lip slurs, and other documents.  Second, there is now a student accomplishments page which recognizes the hard work of the students in the IUP Tuba and Euphonium Studio.  Both pages will be updated over the next week.
