Episode 35: Mravinsky, Margaret Thatcher and God!
Behind every form of beautiful human expression are we going to find a mathematical formula? And, where Margaret Thatcher got it wrong with the unions; she should have listened to musicians and looked at management structures in self-governing orchestras. Enjoy!

Episode 34: Covid Questions 4
Parameters. How do we judge what is good and what is bad, and how does this lead to some countries thinking they produce better brass players than the others?! Choice of bell metal, and which way around should a section sit.

Tune in to learn about hissing noises when you play and more ghost busting, plus the distance classes I've been doing.

Customer Reviews
Amazing job, Ian!
Fantastic insights into music, teaching and life from a remarkable person. Thank you, Ian, for such a wonderful and thoughtful podcast. I love it!
Awesomely helpful but hard to listen to
I wish his mic setup as better audio quality. Too much reverb gives me motion sickness.
Realistic and Relevant Topics and Discussions On Them
Ian discusses performance challenges we all have as musicians. There is some unfiltered, real life examples he shares in how we had taken them on.
Highly recommend!
