I guess you probably don't know, or care, but Janine Gaboury-Sly (now just
Gaboury) and Gordon Sly have split. There must be a problem with Michigan
State horn professors and remaining in a marriage - first Doug/LauraLee and
now Janine and Gord, as she calls him. He is a nice guy - I feel for the
control their giggles. She or he gave them 6 minutes to come
back with their emotions under control.
Just one teacher's use of word to teach rhythm - it has worked for me,
but there are many other ways I am certain.

I have heard of a 190, but not a 109. The 190 is a Geyer wrap horn that is
longer made. The ones I have seen have are very fine horns, vastly

I totally agree with Gary. I have noticed that my students who play

situations do the best on auditions, tryouts, and school playing tests, even
though the material they play may differ with the situation. So I recommend

horn - even if the student knows only one note, improvisation is possible.
