“Meet Your Teacher” is a series of one-on-one interviews with college professors across the United States. There are a lot of great horn teachers in the country, and choosing who to study with ultimately comes down to finding the best overall fit for you. All MYT interviews are comprised of the same 25 questions.

In this episode of “Meet Your Teacher” I talk to Dr. Nick Fife at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC. He is a composer of primarily electronic music, has a wide range of experience in brass band music, and is a specialist in performance injuries.
