Alex,

Thank you for your greetings and welcome. I agree that it's not really fair to have a private language here, but don't sell yourself short -- your Nederlandse seems awfully good to me!

I was principal trumpet in the Rotterdam Philharmonic from 1986 - 1992 and taught at the Rotterdams Conservatorium from 1987 - 1997 (the last 5 years commuting from the house that we built in New Hampshire; a reoccurring theme in my life for those paying close attention--see London, Los Angeles and, starting next month, Montreal).

What are you doing in Belgium?

Best,
EC

JackD · 08-12-2005, 09:54 AM

Wow, this place gets better and better!

Welcome!

ROGERIO · 08-12-2005, 10:52 AM

Welcome Mr. Carroll...

This is a exciting time for us at The Trumpet Master.

I did catch your comment about being a fan of the "cursed baseball team"... so I apologize for making reference to the "other" team...

...but we are looking pretty good here on the TM.... kinda like the NY Yankees (sorry)

of the trumpet forums... we are getting all the stars !!

Rogerio

Thank you, JackD. Think of me as a bridge between two cultures -- a Greenlander of sorts.

Thank you also, Rogerio. It's a good thing, however, that I think the world of Joe Torre. Otherwise I'd have to kill you for that

Best,
EC

Ed,

I’m certainly looking to you new forum. I’ve always enjoyed your posts!

I would like to hear more about your time at Interlochen with John Lindenau. I was there for 6 weeks during the Winter on an exchange program from my high school, and I was just amazed at the caliber of his students as well as his own playing. I still have a copy of the warm-up that he had all of his students’ use in a notebook somewhere.

Where did Mr. Lindenau go to school and who were his teachers?

Were you at HU-4 or HU-5? I remember walks from HU-4 to Thor Johnson every morning with that unbelieveable wind whipping off the frozen over lake. Being from Arizona I had never experienced really cold weather. I was so cold that my jaw would freeze after that walk and it was at least an hour before I could speak clearly in my classes. Man, how I love Arizona winters!

Glad to have you here!

Hi Ed,

Welcome to TM! I love your recordings and really look forward to asking questions and learning from you. What a great opportunity you're giving trumpeters. My past teacher (Ed Hoffman) always says great things about you!

Take care,

Brent

Alex Yates · 08-12-2005, 02:06 PM

Wow Ed, you sure have covered the globe in your travels. I know it is difficult to settle down somewhere only to move again (or to fly constantly, which is no fun these days). I bet you are thrilled to be heading to Montreal now and I bet McGill is more than thrilled to have you! Does this mean you get to keep your home in NH? New England is one of the most beautiful parts of our country (IMHO) and I would have a hard time leaving there.

You asked about Belgium. I was first contacted about going "across the pond" after my website was chosen to be listed as the trumpet reference in the "Geillustreerde Muziekinstrumenten Encyclopedie" published in Dutch. I first arrived there in 2002 taking an "artist in residence" position at the Lemmensinstituut in Leuven. The trumpet teacher there is Mnr. Leon Petre. I liked it so much and struck up such a good friendship with Leon, that I stayed two more years. I lived in Ghent (Gent) and had wonderful performing opportunities all over Belgium and the Netherlands - most of them taking place in the breathtaking cathedrals so numerous over there. Petre and myself did several two piccolo trumpet and organ recitals and they were great fun. I also learned and performed a lot of works by Belgian composers - Stekke, Jongen - and quite a few others whose names I cannot recall at the moment. I received a heavy dose of brass band playing (LOL) which actually was quite a learning experience for this orchestral trumpeter. I also performed several times with "L'Orchestre de Chamber de Wallonie". It was funny playing with this group because all of the strings were "Walloon" a.k.a. French speaking, and all of the "blazers" (blowers) were "Flemish", a.k.a Dutch/Flemish speaking. Communication was always a problem there since the conductor also spoke only French. LOL. I was also fortunate enough to go to Liege a few times and dig into the teachings of Theo Charlier. I could go on and on, but I will save that for my website update. I did learn a lot while there and have a lot to share. It was quite eye-opening, very rewarding musically and extremely informative from a trumpeters view.

Oh! I almost forgot! Most importantly, I learned to appreciate Belgian beer and chocolate.

Westmalle dubbel is my favorite beer hands down, but there were many tasty beers around. And as far as the chocolate goes - the higher the cocoa content, the better. Yum. The dark chocolate is to die for and then some.

Come to think of it, if the dollar wasn't so weak, I might still be living across the pond. LOL. I am now back in the states living in Atlanta. (My husband has an electrical engineering firm here, so this is my "home base".) So, there you have the reader's digest version of my three years in Belgium. :treble:

P.S. Since this is your forum, I also wanted you to know that I became a big fan of yours after purchasing your two CD set of piccolo trumpet music. BRAVO! It is one of my favorites. I look forward to learning from you and thrilled that you are here.

Best wishes, Alex

Hi again, Derek, and good to see you here.

I lived in HU4 for the 2 years that I was at the Arts Academy (my fossils are all over the Concourse). John Lindenau studied at Baldwin-Wallace and was playing around the Cleveland area before following his inner outdoorsman and landing, wonderfully, in Interlochen. We fished almost every day and I learned from him that we can play and have lives as well (a lesson soon forgotten, obviously).

Thank you, Mr. Peabody (and his boy, Sherman)

As you've noted, we Eds stick together.

Alex, you must have encountered Michel Tilken (principal trombone during part of my time in the PPhO) at the Lemmensinstituut. Also, since you were involved in the brassbands, you may have met Bennie Wiame (who replaced me when I left the orchestra). Both wonderful players. Also, I taught with Theo Mertens at the Rotterdams Conservatorium. By the way, I love that little Michaelangelo tucked away in Ghent (probably another Onze Lieve Vrouwenkerk? I don't remember the name).

For the record, I'll still be teaching at CalArts . . . a school (and style of education) that I absolutely believe in. My rationale for taking the job at McGill was that my butt couldn't become more shaped like an airplane seat, so why worry?

Best to you all,
EC
