Testimonials

“The presentation of the River Falls Brass was a great reinforcement to my teachings. Students are now using more time to warm up before playing in band. With this, the intonation and sound has been enhanced. I am very thankful that the members allowed my to perform with them and appreciate their clinics thereafter.”

“It was a pleasure to have the UWRF Brass Quintet on our campus. The performance by these talented musicians engaged our students from the first note through to the end. As a teacher, I appreciated their message about the importance and value of chamber music, and the “accessible” way in which they presented their program. There were no barriers between performers and audience…just an open and honest sharing of the joy of making music.”
