This week we spoke with Dr. Mark Whitfield, principal trombone of the Wilmington Symphony, Assistant Professor of Trombone and Euphonium at Eastern Carolina University, and Darien's very first private teacher! He had some great stories to share about his 5 years in Carolina Crown, offered some inspirational insight into his wearisome doctoral studies, and an awesome account of his time recording with a musical hero... we hope you enjoy this episode!
