As a teacher it is always been my goal to have students who play better than me. I am a brass player. Right now I really wish I had ever two or three brass players that play better than me. I do have one sophomore that is getting close, maybe by next

The solo is pretty neat. The name is pretty nifty, too. Being charged yet again for being awesome? Plead the fifth. Perhaps because this sounds similar to Chocolate Cherry Bomb? You're a clever little man..

I am the audio tech for Infinity World Percussion (PIW). A huge factor will be learning the proper way to coil/wrap a cable so that it unwraps flat and perfect. Nothing will slow you down like a knot in your cable or a mess of cables all tied up toge

Bcaviness, thank you very much!! That was very informative! I appreciate all the thought you put into that reply. Once Winterline is over (tenors, ya!), I'd like to take time to getting more used keyboard. So yes, I will heed your sage advice. Tha
