With 23 years of teaching and ten as a professional musician, I have learned a lot over the years - much of it the hard way.

Not every technique works for every band every single time, but in this episode I share dozens of quick tips that have worked for me and others. Tips to improve tone and tuning, tips to improve balance and technique - and more.
