One of my favorite points in teaching is when a student becomes comfortable enough with reading notation and confident enough with their technique to be able to play their own part while I play a duet part right next to them. It really amps up the fun we can have! This spring I was lucky enough to have three students who were eager to try an exciting and ambitious trio by Eric Ewazen, a terrific composer for brass. His music is often exciting and uplifting, but full of hidden pitfalls for the performer, because he modulates keys so frequently. These kids put in such great effort to learn this music separately in a matter of weeks, and we got together last week to try it all together. Enjoy the result!
