Andrew and Amanda discuss a workshop with Colin Clark on preparing for brass solo performances, drawing on Andrew’s experience as a tuba player and Amanda’s perspective as a musician and listener. They reflect on choosing repertoire that showcases a player’s strengths, building breath control and confidence, shaping dynamics and musicality, and understanding what adjudicators may be listening for in competitions. The conversation also explores Colin’s work with a newer conductor, including practical insights about baton technique, clear cues, tempo, and the small gestures that help players follow a conductor more easily.

Andrew and Amanda talk about their recent trip to see the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra perform in Palmerston North. From the thrill of hearing Romeo and Juliet live to the disappointment of discovering principal tuba player Andrew Jarvis was not there, they unpack the concert with their usual mix of humour, musical insight, and brass-player bias. Along the way, they discuss conductor Benjamin Northey’s expressive style, the difference between orchestra and brass band playing, concert etiquette, string-section politics, trumpet-player egos, and why the brass section will always matter.
