Music Masterclasses

it’s fantastic being here, there is a brilliant bunch of young players here and they are all musical ‘thinkers’. It’s a privilege to be working with young people who want to learn, they are all true musicians, they all think on their feet and they are highly versatile and they are taking the music in at a ridiculously fast pace. We did two arrangements, it came together extremely quickly and it’s a complex arrangement but the pieces fell into place really fast, which is just a reflection on how well this whole process is really working. I’m not a born teacher as such but I can teach them what I know. It’s really very gratifying that they are learning something from me, I just feel that personally and I love it.
