Hi All
I'm most certainly a brass player, and have been for nearly 31 years. I started when I was 11, which most will probably work out - makes me 42...

I don't presently play with any band or group, and in recent years have done more conducting than playing.
Several years ago I was tutoring part time both for the local council and privately and put several students through various brass exam grades. I had opportunity recently to play next to one of my students who is now way better than I am. We played at a brass band event organised by www.themouthpiece.com - another vibrant brass discussion community forum.
I am not sure if I am going to do more playing any time soon, but am happy to pop in here and offer advice and support to anyone who requests it.
Have a good 'un
John
