“I love the beautiful simplicity of brass playing. Like speaking and singing, an expressive brass performance is an organic act. There is a logical–often intuitive–sequence of actions that lead to a desired result. Dedicated brass study gives students the opportunity to appreciate logic, trust themselves, and ultimately manifest their intellect through music.”
Karl Wiederwohl, MacPhail Brass Teaching Artist
