This is a recording I made of Wurm etude 26 back in 2014. It has popped up again on the list this year in 2023. I hope it helps anyone in the woodshed preparing for their audition this fall.
Let me know if you have any questions!

A couple of weeks ago I was talking to a student about when I first began teaching in quantity. That was fall of 2001. I feel comfortable saying at that time my playing was at a high level and uniquely mine. My experience teaching one on one however was non existent.
I was very aware of how much of my vocabulary seemed borrowed. I would channel so much directly from Charlie and Jeff and other influences. I wondered when that would change. I wondered when it would sound like my voice.
For better or worse after 17 years and 80,000 lessons or so I have a voice. All of the below has been said and often better by others but these are in my voice.
In no particular order I’ve made note of some of the things I often say. Perhaps one or two will strike you in a new and different way.
What I do between lessons...

I recall hearing this solo on a Reiner Chicago Symphony recording of Das Lied von der Erde when I was a kid. It's my first memory of hearing Bud Herseth and having some level of awareness of what I was hearing. His seemingly efforless beauty blew me away.
