Lucky man Trumpetnick! I find it very interesting that you never done any Arban with them considerng they are all ex-brass banders. Would you be able to give us an incite into what you learnt with these teachers?

On the Maurice Murphy's LSO podcast, he said that he doesn't rate himself as a teacher, and that teaching was never really his thing. Is Maurice being modest?
