From the wisdom of Chris - Pt. 2
A guy calls the musician’s guild to get a quote on a six piece band for a wedding. The rep says “Off the top of my head, about two thousand dollars”. He says “WHAT? FOR MUSIC?” The rep responds “I’ll tell you what: call the plumbers’ union and ask for six plumbers to work from 6 to 12 o’clock on a saturday night. Whatever they charge...

From the wisdom of Chris
• “Technique” is primarily how you do something, not just how fast you so something. • Find places to play with, hear, meet and study with musicians who create/perform music the way you’d someday like to. • Soft music should have the same intensity as music played loudly, only it should sound very far away. • Listen more closely to the sounds around you than forcing your sound...

Slow scales (quarter notes @ 60 or slower) allow one to connect all ranges of the instrument with full, legato air, smooth...

Ich habe ausgesorgt!
Ich habe gerade eine eigentlich vertrauliche Email von Ndema Nosiviwe erhalten, kann aber vor lauter Freude nicht an mich halten und muss es einfach jedem mitteilen. Er bietet mir ein sehr lukratives Geschäft an, das ich natürlich annehmen muss! Ich werde jetzt mal schnell antworten und muss dann wahrscheinlich einige Angelegenheiten mit meiner Bank klären, bevor ich mir erstmal ein neues Auto...

“There is a little fear and there is a lot of satisfaction. It usually goes...”
– Mindy Kaufmann, Flutist and Piccolo player with the New York Philharmonic about playing Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 Being asked by Elliott Forrest on the NYPhil Podcast from 14.09.2007: Is there a special kind of joy or fear associated with having a solo in a symphony and being so exposed?
