Shaw: “We are really good at teaching our kids to play their instruments, but we’re are lousy at teaching them to perform.” #WIBC2011
Shaw: Horns “want” to play in tune. Do pitch bending exercises to find how the tonal center “feels”. It changes daily. #WIBC2011 #musedchat
Shaw: Horns sound lush & connected cause they play higher in their harmonic series; they can do more portamento slurs #WIBC2011 #musedchat
Shaw: “It’s ok to rip a little sheet metal as long as there is consistency and core to the sound.” Don’t be afraid to be edgy #WIBC2011
JD Shaw: knowing how the sound diffuses through the environment, horn players must play brighter than they would think. #WIBC2011 #musedchat
Shaw: “I could not believe the level of crap coming out of the horns!” on hearing CSO horns from behind as a youth #WIBC2011
Shaw: Dark quality of sound grows w/ distance. Must be brilliant at bell so it sounds rich/dark, not peanutbuttery gooey to aud. #WIBC2011
Shaw: Horn is not an instrument by itself, but a composite w/ it’s surroundings. What comes out of the bell isn’t what aud. hears #WIBC2011
JW Shaw: Horn Ss need to know what the horn should sound like. Listen 2 great players-be inspired, whatever form. Soundtracks, etc #WIBC2011
Thank you! RT @rwsmithcomposer: Finished reh day 2 in Seattle w/ group of amazing musicians. Looking fwd 2 the concert very much. #WIBC2011
Ponto: What’s role & life force of each voice? What is internally implied shape & expression? Choral does this; band should more #WIBC2011
Ponto: Balance layers voices in space - giving 3 dimensions to music. Think: like stage blocking of phys positions. #WIBC2011 #musedchat
Ponto: Blend v. Balance. Blend is mix of dif instr on similar lines. Balance is relative weight of dif lines (SATB or Mel/Acc) #WIBC2011

Breathe “down” and not “in”. And listen “through” to the tuba, not “down”. L. Morehouse #WIBC2011 #musedchat
Music never stands still. It is either moving toward or away from something. L. Morehouse #WIBC2011 #musedchat
Accented notes should receive more emphasis w/ the breath, not w/ a sharp attack of the tongue. They should “lift”. #WIBC2011 #musedchat
Funny line re: breathing “Don’t let your human needs get in the way of the music!” L. Morehouse #WIBC2011 #musedchat
