I have had the privilege to play in a college band over the last few
years (as a "Guest Artist"). Many of the students are not music majors,
and of those that are, some are outstanding musicians - a very small

I am astonished at the vitriol generated over a simple comment about the
brass playing of the NY Phil. Come on people - we are not talking about
some amateur band - and Dvorak 7th Symphony - if you don't like the
brass playing there - you belong on a different list.

Hi Jonathan,
I did not intend to imply that Reba was a beginning or unprofessional
player. That is why I changed the subject line and omitted her original
comments that prompted the new thread. I was responding to your comment
that buzzing had little value. As others have supplied better

No - but I'm usually too cheap to fly when I am traveling the short
distances typically covered by such planes. I am quite certain,
however, th
"If you have a horn available to play, then I see little use in
mouthpiece buzzing." - Jonathan West
With respect, I would submit that there are some uses for mouthpiece
buzzing - particularly for younger and amateur horn players.
There is a tendency I have observed, to play somewhat approximat

I will echo Phil Jacobs recommendation of the Thompson case. I have
taken my horn all over the world in a Thompson case and have found it to
be convenient, compact, lightweight, and protects my horn well. It is

Not magic, but I tried Abreva that last time I had a cold sore, and I
was playing without pain in about a day, and the sore cleared up within
5 or six days.

I just finished reading a book by bassist Barry Green, with Timothy Gallwey
entitled "The Inner Game of Music." I found it to be an excellent book with
many practical solutions for dealing with the mental obstacles to playing up to
our full potential. I am now starting on his follow up book, "

This may not be the WORST - but I find the transcription of the "Ballet
of the Chicks in Their Shells" from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an
Exhibition - as arranged for the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble to be
particularly dissatisfying. I also heard a band arrangement by J. Boyd,

Dear Hans,
You are, of course, entirely correct, and will get no argument from me.
As my response to the comment about belief and the placebo effect was
toungue-in-cheek, I did not fully develop my idea.
I intended, though perhaps too subtly, to point out the dual sides of
the practice coin
I am so disillusioned. I used to believe that lots of time practicing
would make me a better player. Now that I know it's just a placebo
effect I wonder what I might have missed had I spent the time sitting in
