What was it about the way John Haynie approached trumpet lessons that made such an impression on so many of his students? What were his instructions? How did the lessons transfer from the studio to the recital hall to their life after college? Come inside the studio and relive some of these students’ lessons. Take a seat on the other side of the stand from master teacher John Haynie.
I certainly wish I could have taken a lesson with John Haynie, this book is but a small window to the compendium of his knowledge, and gives me much to think about in my own playing and how I interact with students. Most importantly, it reminds me that the trumpet belongs to a full life, and shouldn’t always be the center of it.
