TMers,

A short anecdote and then I'll return to watching this thread with interest (and thank you, Robin)...

I once had a fabulous Scottish trumpet student at the Rotterdam Conservatory named Elaine Robertson. She later went on to a career in the BBC Symphony Orchestra. I brought my Stamp book to our first lesson and suggested that we do a few bends. "Like this?" she replied and proceeded to bend chromatically for 2 octaves starting at the g on the top of the staff to the low g and back.

We moved quickly to other things.

Oft-humbled by my students,
EC
