TestimonialsVia email from Bruce who attended the Seminars recently
"As I send this e-mail to you I cannot believe that it has been over two weeks since we were together at Ringwood. Thanks to you both for giving me a rev-up over the weekend. A couple of comments from two of my band members at our rehearsals recently, the first one was from my "ever faithful BBb Bass player", who has been with me since I took over the Band in 1967, he was the only player I had told that I was going to the Seminar. As he was going out the door after the first rehearsal after the weekend "hey Mate, it was worth it ". Another long serving member who knew nothing of my attendance said to me on the second rehearsal after,"I don't know what you are ON but I want some of it.." And Another, Hi Graham, When I attended two of your seminars a couple of months ago, I mentioned that I was going to be the conductor for an annual 3-day band workshop over the school holidays. Well it was held last week and I thought I'd let you know how it went. Thanks to your instruction it couldn't have gone better! After attending the Conducting and Rehearsal Nuts and Bolts seminars and studying the accompanying literature I was geared up to put what I had learnt into practice. With the knowledge of both of these seminars I was able to effectively lead from the podium and bring out the best from the kids in the band (35 grade 3-6 students from various primary schools with anything from 6 months to 3 years experience). I chose nine pieces which were a mix of Grade 1.5 & 2 standard (all played at the correct tempos!). Rather than just "playing the notes" I was able to get them to play with feeling that was beyond their years. Even though there were less children in the band than previous years, the band had a bigger sound as I was able to get more out of each player. Both the organisers and parents were coming up to me after the concert, saying they were amazed at how well the band sounded. This was the first time I had conducted this workshop as there is a different conductor every year, however due to the success of the rehearsals and the concert I have already been asked back to conduct next year's band. So thanks Graham, I can honestly say the success of the workshop and concert was due in no small part to the knowledge I gained from your seminars. Thanks again, Geoff Dawson |
