Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
A friend of a close friend & Horn player has developed a chop
issue.
This is a guy who spent many years in one of the major military
bands,
as well as three major orchestras both in the US & abroad. He was
always somewhat of a 'natural' - but now, he's baffled about
whatever
has happened.
He's trying to play through it. However, it remains a rough
situation
for him. Of course, he's a bit leery of putting 'too' much
information
out there for all to see. But, he's wanting to get some more help -
and, he doesn't want to waste time on simply a "name" or great
player
who won't be able to truly help him physically & technically.
Do you know & can you recommend a good "technician" type of teacher
or
player who might assess what is going on & point him in the right
direction? He's an incredible musician, and he doesn't need a
musical
"coaching" on excerpts & etc. Rather, he needs someone who can
identify & help correct the problem as quickly as possible. Do you
know of someone (anywhere?) that fits that description??
Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi,
I would be glad to help anyone with these types of issues. That is, i
am assuming you are talking about some type of injury. or maybe you are
not sure. Anyway, I have a lot of experience with these things.
I have Cindy Lewis' book, and, while it does cover a lot of things, I
take issue with her recommendation to "play through" major injuries.
Taking absolute rest is needed for some injuries. Also, there may be no
"quick fix" for whatever this is.
As people get older they are more susceptible to lip injury. If this
person is in their late forties or above, the chance of injury goes way
up.
I would be glad to talk to or work with, perhaps on line, anyone who
wants to learn more about this. A simple phone call can clear up a lot
of things.
Sincerely,
Wendell
