Re: Clinic topics

A fun topic might be imagery – how to talk to brass players. Things like “forte means full, not loud,” “a silent but deadly piano,” “stay down when going up” etc. You could use your own experience, and cull TM for more phrases. (You might not want to explain what those penciled “bfb”s really mean, though!)

The favored phrase of Vulgani is "that was brown and sounded like a bell: ...dung!"
