Go Ducks! Faculty from the University of Oregon Music Department Coach a Sectional
Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with your low
brass section last Monday night. I thoroughly enjoyed the time
spent. As you know, they are extremely bright kids and fine players
as well. They were pretty much nailing their parts already, so I was
able to use the time as a master class. I tried to give them some
useful, perhaps new, ways of thinking about important concepts such
as pitch, articulation, rhythm and phrasing, as well as some
“trombone specific” ideas about right hand position, basic concepts
of slide technique, and choice of alternate positions.
