After retirement, I returned to my trombone after a 50-year hiatus and found that my chops (along with a few other things) were missing. Thanks to Kurt's 16 week high register course, I have a decent range--usually to C#2--and am improving daily. His course requires work and diligence, but is rewarding. Kurt has a substantial number of techniques designed to improve your range, making it easy to find a technique that works for you. Phone sessions were helpful and timely. I would recommend Kurt without hesitation.

I took Kurt's 4 month high range brass course via phone and Skype a little over a year ago. My range prior to this time with Kurt was high C and seldom above. At the end of my study with Kurt my range was F above high C daily in practice, giving my usable range a nice lift. Now, a year later in my practice I have daily G's and an occasional A over C. Kurt has great knowledge of many different techniques from many professional players from which he draws upon in his course. He is well organized, punctual and well spoken - he gets his points across well. He will challenge you and get the job done!

It was after a 15 year break due to Military Service, College and family that I returned to playing my favorite hobby. My wife had my fathers Horn repaired as a Christmas Gift. Having played a month achieving my high school range of High F, I wanted to get better in the upper register. I went online in search of a teacher that can play there and found Kurt's website and took the 16 week upper register course. One of the best investments of my life. He took my up 9 notes on range and endurance to GGG!!! His theories and applications produce outstanding results if done the way instructed. I am now taking his Lead Course. Keep it up Kurt!
