Dear Steven,

it me Rebéka. I wanted to thank you for the nice conversation last evening. I unfortunately couldn't say goodbye because i didn't find you when i go.
Perhaps i would go with you and the others to the bar. I'm sorry.
I hope you had a good travel home.
If you want, we can remain in contact over e-mail.
I would be lucky about an answer from you.

Best regards
Rebéka

Thanks for agreeing to come down to sunny (for now) Wiltshire and steer the band through the next National's test piece. Expect our usual warm welcome in June, of course. Just one more step up!!

Hello Mr Mead! Im Tommy and I come all the way from British Columbia in Canada. Im in a highschool band right now playing the Euphonium and I've been playing this wonderful instrument since i was in grade 7 (I'm grade 10 now). Thankyou Mr Mead for being such a fanastic Euphonium player. You are by far the favorite in my books! Thanks for inspiring me to contuniue my Euphonium studies, and thanks for inspiring me to try to be as good as you!

My chops are highter in the mouth piece for lower tones, e.g. low Bb below the staff and I sense that both lips are vibrationg. I produce a rather b reathy tone with this set up playing a middle F or Bb.
In order to get a better tone in mid to upper register, my chops go downin the m/p and it seems like its my upper lip that is doing the vibrating to the point that a high Bb sounds pinched and not open like the low register.
I'm screwed up?

Hi Steve. I hope to see you at the NABBA in Grand Rapids this next weekend. I plan on being there to listen to the euphonium solo and ensembles. Plus, friends of mine will be performing in a trombone quartet, solos, and in the Capitol City Brass Band. So, I will want to catch them, too.

Hi Steve. I met you when you were performing with the Brass Band of Battle Creek. I enjoy that brass band; &, I have always absolutely loved your playing. You play so very well; full of emotion as well as technique & musicianship. You look like you are having so much fun while you are performing.
At the University of Michigan, my major instruments were clarinet & saxophone. Later, studied drumset & continue to play. Now, I am studying the euphonium. I have fallen in love with it.

Hello Emanuel
Thanks for your kind message. I really enjoyed my visit to Gozo and Malta and the Masterclass was definitely a highlight. I hope we can repeat it again in the near future.
Best regards

What a wonderful opportunity it was for us to have had you delivering a master class at our club (St.Joseph Band Club Hamrun Malta)! Your visit has left an indelible mark, and will be remembered for a very long time.
