Coaching video 17 of 40: \"Memento\" from Finger Fitness Études Book 2 by Dr. Kristen Denny-Chambers is an etude of reflection and celebration dedicated to Tulsan, Steve Snider. Connecting registers with legato expectations along with some unexpected articulation patterns and tempo shifts, this etude provides plenty of challenges for players of all levels. \"Memento\" is dedicated Steve Snider, a bass clarinet specialist, former band director, avid sailor, and native of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The following is the beautiful obituary written in Steve\'s honor: Robert Stephen \"Steve\" Snider departed this life on Monday, March 1, 2021, at his home at the age of 77 after a long and valiant battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig\'s Disease). Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Service of Sand Springs. The son of Robert Earl Snider and Melba Alice (Teeguarden) Snider was born August 29, 1943, in Tulsa. He graduated from McLain High School in 1962. Steve was a proud member of the band and orchestra where he played bass clarinet and earned the prestigious John Philip Sousa Award. Continuing his education at the University of Tulsa, he met the love of his life, Mary Louise Todd, a fellow music education major. They were married on July 26, 1968, at the First Presbyterian Church in Bartlesville. After his graduation, Steve guided and inspired many young musicians as a band director for McLain, Claremore, Muskogee, and Bartlesville schools. He retired in 1997. Steve was elected into the American School Band Directors Association as a distinguished member. He played for several years in the Tulsa Philharmonic Orchestra and later in the Bartlesville Symphonic Orchestra. Steve was also a longtime member of the local Starlight Band. An avid sailor, Steve enjoyed many sailing trips with Mary in the Caribbean and South Pacific. He was a member of the Windycrest Sailing Club and served as Commodore in 2006. For the past seven years, the club has honored Steve with the \"Windycrest Sail for Steve Regatta\" earning funds for APSO an ALS Patient Services Outreach Charity. Steve was a national champion in sailing, earning the title of National Catalina 22 Regatta Champion in 1989. Steve was a wonderful person. He was so outgoing and positive, and he gave his all to not be deterred by his ALS disease. Steve, we all look up to you for life\'s inspiration. Steve was preceded in death by his parents; and sister, Mary Jean Baker. Survivors include his wife of 52 years, Mary, of the home; brother, John Eric Snider and wife, Cinda of Owasso; numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family. **** All 40 etudes from this book have been recorded by Trevor Stewart and are exclusively available for purchase here: https://clarinetplayground.com/store/... or if you would like to purchase the bundle of the book and MP3, take a look here: PRINT https://clarinetplayground.com/store/...
