[Music] I’ll wait five four three two and go hi everybody hi Tim Tim Stefan had quite a long weekend okay I don’t know why Stefan we’re live how you doing oh I’m just trying things out you know there really was a piece composed by a guy called dieter Schnabel did you ever come across him yeah with ensemble more down we played this it was scored for a chamber ensemble in you know revolving chair it was hilarious it was no we also did we didn’t play this
Vinc or global car piece and it’s for woodwind quintet but the horn and did the Sooner outside most of the time and the three others like have revolving chairs but they also have like to change instruments and do things like that and play on that yeah it was really not good it’s really funny very good handsome Tim how was your weekend it’s good it was a little bit busy we had
Anzac Day on Saturday you were screaming Anzac Day what at the end of our party I was I had to do so we have the dawn service where do the bugle calls and I was helping a stream a couple of different events around the country so it was it was one party one party then ceremony ceremony ceremony ceremony ended by someone yes you did you realize what you did
Tim I’ve got to tell you guys this this is rather hilarious so when we when we switched off the live button from the horn party of course we partied on a little bit and we wanted to actually have a really nice long horn party but Tim had switched Eric rouse key to administrator and not one of us so when
Eric Lee I didn’t meet you it was gone stuff on you two skis red wine God we all make mistakes too bad the wrong person in charge of the party this time it was okay and and Stefan you sent me something very nice over the weekend yes okay okay what do you think guys I think we should do a hangout with
Stefan Dora’s favorite recipes in the kitchen what makes you big and strong as a horn player because he this guy cooks amazingly well and what do you think let us know what you think about that not strong but big you said big belly great belly makes a great sound um I’m working I do some workout now it’s getting too much tell me about it right lovely to see where you’re watching from
Sveta is with us from Oslo amateur shipping is Berlin West End Lewis says great greetings from MIT er which Lewis is that Wow it’s Matthew from Hong Kong my goodness this is great greetings from Belgium Stefan is so funny says my lease that’s very very true hey we are talking about master classes now for Tim and I we have a very special master class story to start off with don’t we
Tim we do that’s how we met Sara wasn’t it I’m very nostalgic what did you think when you were told to livestream this strange horn player I thought French horns really horns do I have to go and live stream them Melbourne and then Australian national killer music so Louis who I was visiting and playing with the Melbourne
Symphony Orchestra at the time he said to me I’d never live streamed you know with the only thing I’d done was that’s u2 Symphony Orchestra thing but it’s never live stream de masterclass and now it’s completely normal of course but Saul said right we’re gonna livestream your masterclass on you know tomorrow and and I was like what how when he said yeah
I’ve got this guy he’s quite good at he’s a tuba player I was like yeah and then got there and there was Tim Hanson Tim running around and yeah well i’ve streamed it yes when was it that was what six yeah chef on sir what are the earrings oh well your earrings look they’re british earrings they are
I put them on today because I I’m missing my mom and my sister and my nephew Angus and I just we found out yesterday that if you want to go to England you have to stay in quarantine for two weeks it’s now official and you have to stay in quarantine if you want to come back to Berlin so
I’m not be able to see them for a long time so I’m just a little bit missing them so I wore these in their honor today god save the queen I’ve got the German underwear no just kidding okay everybody if you’re watching on Facebook and you have some juicy questions for us get over to the website write them here because
I can see them a lot easier on on my iPad here at home from the website if you’re otherwise write in and tell us where you’re watching from we love to hear that Oh bye Tim he’s left he’s gone he’s left and we’re talking about master classes today because Stefan and I were thinking okay how can we how can we help what topic should we touch
I know you’ve been writing in all sorts of questions for other things but today it’s all about master classes Stefan you give many master classes a year don’t you not so many I must I do do give them when I am somewhere playing solos autumn music or sometimes even with the ox I do give a short like the collar
Japan they call a clinic yeah so usually it’s yes it’s not really you know master class it is a muscle as in one day or in two hours or three hours or something so it’s sometimes just half an hour or 20 minutes for for a couple of players and then I try to give a bit of motivation it’s very hard to actually talk about real you know embouchure problems or in details but sometimes just helping them to get a bit yeah a fresh idea what do you find is the biggest problem in a master class situation the the biggest problem of course is that you
Don’t have you don’t know anything about usually you don’t know the people who are playing for you so you have not you know if you you see you see problems immediately most of the times and then too quickly you realize them and try to be helpful in 25 minutes half an hour that is not long time yeah just can be a little thing of motivation not not really like solving problems in there more time
I find my what I find is the biggest problem for most people doing the master class is that they literally have 15 20 minutes to play in front of what’s usually an audience of only horn players and they get up and the first ten minutes they’re so nervous you can’t do anything with them and their air has stopped and
Margaret is written in a question which I think we should address because this is a global master class problem she said I find it difficult difficult to use enough air when playing in front of others I’m always told to use more air but it’s challenging for me to do so any advice I know exactly what she means because we can see that the players aren’t using their air so we tell them to use the air but when you’re nervous your body often just shuts down do you encounter this as well absolutely a lot of times yeah people the things when you get nervous usually like
It’s like your neck and you get in this position where animals would like mm yeah like this and so everything is like really tight the only advice I can usually give there is just try to breathe it was a very open mouth and relax the shoulders get your head up so that you sorry it will feel very like a very open and like you can get vulnerable in a way so that this doesn’t really give you a nice feeling but if you have like done a couple of breathing’s before that would help a lot and
I think usually what what is not done enough all the time is to play in front of people before the master class even if it’s only a couple of friends just yes mega simulation of the of the actual situation yeah I totally agree I think this um you see them walk onto the stage and usually I can see how they’re gonna play by the way they walk onto the stage do you know what
I mean absolutely same I’m not I’m not criticizing that at all because I’m in the same I can feel how I’m about to play when I walk onto the stage you know and sometimes even just a little thing a little trick like try this now at home putting your shoulder blades back just try that yeah as if someone’s pulling you up here and shoulder blades back it just opens everything up and this is a very unnatural thing for your body to do and it’s feeling nervous because all our instincts want to do this yeah exactly it every time you do this it’s bad for horn
Playing you know absolutely so another little trick I sometimes tried myself stuff on is when I’m feeling nervous on the stage at in the fellow money I try not to you know I get the blinkers on you know what I mean and I I don’t well you probably don’t but I’m at this and I don’t want to look
I don’t want to look at anything because I’m just thinking wrong and I force myself to open my eyes and really you know not necessarily look out into your ian’s but just get this feeling of openness back again because once again that you know getting in like that it’s just just a question of staying open and if you can trick your body into feeling a little bit more open that really does help the nerves and the air as well because you can’t breathe well if you’re all hunched up it’s just yeah and then the air is gone and then after two minutes the lip is
Gone because you don’t support everything and so you build up everything in the end and don’t use the yeah all the muscles you have and your body to play to play the hole yeah Alexandra honey’s barek hi Alexandra in New York she’s just written Sarah’s master class from Juilliard in 2019 the biggest problem was that everyone so was so good that you and
Julie didn’t have things to fix it was really true it’s not all for Stefan when someone comes on a blaze and you’re like great go away no way of course we’d rather have that it’s also nice if we have something to fix that’s you know that’s that’s fine but also then I love people who really don’t have problems but then you can start talking about music but phrasing about you know and then you don’t have to you know try to fix things all the time that’s nice absolutely master classes to get to get to the point where the person is calm enough so that we
Can talk about the music it usually takes you know ten minutes and then or 15 minutes and then they have five minutes to talk about music that sometimes frustrating is a teacher but if if we work on our performing before we go into a master class you know and get our head in the right space and sometimes people are so afraid of me and
I get I’m like it’s only me I’m not scary yeah I’m so not scary you have the most scariest low notes line all the lines will run away and I have this on tape that is the biggest comfortable speaking of low notes we’ve got a very good question heather has said remember everyone wants you to succeed that’s a good thing to remember too because a lot of people get up in front of an or masterclass area audience and look like they think everyone’s about to spit on them or something but actually you know if
I’ve listened to a master class I’ve wanted that person to do so well you know it’s we’re all in the same boat yeah I’m also saying you know why you know is they’re all home players they have you know they all know the trouble so easy it is all right after the first few minutes but the problem is as a horn player in your profession we’ve only got that first chance to get it right so this is master classes you learn you know you learn a lot from them is to get it right on the first go instead of
Teodoro moment’ let me just do it again did you take any master Casas just just out of curiosity actually not not many because I got my first job very young I wish I had taken more because I was I was a big scaredy-cat at college and I did one or two brass platforms we called it and my knees shook so much that
I never went back and nobody made me go back and I wish they had it would have made a lot of my journey a lot easier if I’d had that practice playing in front of people I didn’t have a horn class because I was the only one in my year there was no one else to sort of bounce ideas off so my situation wasn’t ideal
I had to I’ve never felt very comfortable playing you know so the solar pieces with piano is a little bit like my trauma it really is but there’s a good question that’s come in from our tour and mature our tour and mature mature says how do you select pieces for the math class art or rites do you prefer students in master class to play
Mozart Strauss and oiling which students always need to play or are you tired of those and would rather listen to something else yes no a lot of times I see students they pick pieces that are sometimes just too hard for them and then it’s really really really difficult to work on them because actually there’s the ability abilities are not there to to actually you know to get something out of musically so you have just to problem-solve and then it’s like maybe you know don’t don’t play vivo
Condit you know let’s two months or three or let’s do doesn’t have to be you know it could be could be whatever nice pieces they aren’t they don’t Sonata oh it doesn’t there’s a lot of things but then they use them they said hallelujah I totally agree with that when people bring me things like Weber concertina when you you can tell at the beginning they haven’t practiced the notes all right it’s not necessary to play the hardest piece you’ve ever found in a master class play something you feel comfortable with but that you think could be improved and it’s not the teachers or the professor’s
Job in a master class to teach you a piece my heart always thinks when I get to that don’t you agree Stephane absolutely no it is it is then and people don’t sometimes come with like to my daughter League or whatever and that’s never played it was gone before and it’s like ah the pier the protiens is just guessing where where she was she or he wants to it has to play with him there’s just like breathing it and not knowing where the piano me really needs this you know yeah my mom just joined the stream um
I’m wearing my earrings for you because I miss you hope you should just join the stream with his knees closed that’s a long story and we’ll tell you that story another time yeah there’s a oh if I could just add to the repertoire choice my heart also sinks when someone brings something so obscure that I’ve never heard it and
I it’s too difficult to sight-read you know and it’s something I I can’t play back to them I’m always happy if you can demonstrate a bit in a master class but you know if it’s too obscure then I get you know it’s hard it makes our life harder okay if you say so but there’s a good question what’s that what is that oh gosh pop up up up up up up what is that
Brad Dean Bob is that is that the eighth horn a tree I hope the bah bah bah bah but that’s a fantastic what are we gonna play that again we’re working on it if any of you we have a two jobs free we’ve just had to cancel one audition for principal Horne because obviously you know was like the
Olympics everyone was preparing for it and not knowing if the audition was gonna take place so we put them out of their misery but we’re having will will have them as soon as we can I’m a good one here actually quite a few people are riding with some really good things Alexandra says Thomas just line advise me to start with
Mozart three and it will serve me for life for many things it helps yeah start with something that you feel you can play that you can put some music into a mature shipping asked for so list ik passages what happens if the teacher finds the students interpretation different from the teachers himself that’s a good question because we are confronted with that a lot
I usually recommend people I mean the thing is like in what’s on three it cost one whatever I first of all recommend that people some values they have practiced in four years and to not cut the music because then I see some music that has like I’m an input of 15 teachers in it and you can’t hardly see the nodes anymore because they’re so much like in it
I would get to a master class with a fresh copy yeah just with the fresh copy so that there would be ideal to say ah is watched up on door things and I can you know then then you have it and you can agree or disagree it’s not about it’s not about that we all have to agree on my intubation no you have to of course yes
I do if I play second horn yeah of course no no we always find it I could um there’s some really great people from all over the world how do you is watching our academies howdy hello nice to see you I hope you’re at all she’s in Korea isn’t she I don’t know I think she’s here actually in
Korea are you in Korea tell us rally goodness is watching in Brazil and Huan Landy is watching from Ecuador he’s a great salsa dancer and and vero Koren coralista from Bolivia I mean really we we love ya we love that you’re watching you’re gonna do something with the corona horn soon aren’t you Stefan yeah it should be today but
I I figured I was just too much because I’m a bit of online teaching also at the same time the Monday’s usually very busy so I try to do it on different day and yeah I’m sure it well it’s fun I had fun with the corona horns it sounds I’m a bit sort of hesitant to call anything corona cuz what’s gonna happen when it’s no more
Corona will have to change all the names but for us as Cora nice does it’s quite good Mike honest us so it was great to see you all if you’re on Facebook write in and tell us where you’re watching from and if you have any juicy questions about masterclass tips then get over onto the website and write them in for us here so
I can see them Stefan we’re talking about repertoire that we shouldn’t that we’re happy if the students don’t choose firstly pieces that they don’t know very well and that we feel we have to teach them that that’s a little bit troublesome in in a master class situation because the audience gets bored you know then also not too difficult not the most difficult piece you ever you ever chose
I’m always happy if I’m in a master class and I can do something that helps people so if they bring you know all the high if they bring in all these high stuff I’m like okay maybe are Stefan about that but I’m happy to you know look look at the low horns and things like that yeah there we go right ah sounding good looks a bit like that fish and that sounded like the brussels fish i didn’t flatten the fish the fish is a flatfish but that actually is a flatfish that’s the fish you can see it has two eyes on the top side so
I couldn’t it lifts on the crowd of the say you said what do you think should we do a horn hangout live from Stefan’s kitchen he can show us some good recipes I think that’s a great idea Kent Fisher’s watching in Ann Arbor hi Kent lovely to see you Peter from Troy Alabama Kylie white from Ewa stone now she’s written something very interesting she said she was able to ditch beta blockers for all situations good for you thanks to
Don green centering techniques it’s a great great way to relax muscles muffled a little it’s a great way to relax muscles and connect with your breath and she hasn’t had a bad performance since starting it global round of applause for Kylie right there are a lot of different techniques to help and anything you can find that works for you that’s not tablets or alcohol is great and
Don Green has a wonderful scent centering exercise Andrew Bain taught me about that because he’d studied with with where you very quickly bring everything in and I sitting next to Andrew play second horn to him you know you get on stage you dump your water you know you do your music stand and then I turned to him to say something and he was like and then he just was back
I was like okay now I asked him about it later he said that’s what he was doing so I take that so you can’t talk to me you always before booked us for months we do know it’s really annoying that’s why if you see Stefan on the dirt on the digital concert hall and he’s going then it’s an anti
Sara technique okay got it but that’s really good news so I I ordered the book the mind for me which Dinka Vukovich told us that she really enjoyed and I ordered it I’m plowing through it it’s a lot of text but really good things in there as well the inner game of music you know Don Green there’s a lot of stuff out there but
Kylie were really happy to hear that Kerri smell so says I knew a teacher who would have a student put a wallet under the arms of the armpit to force the shoulders down in order to relax I’ve got a wallet here what have I got a parrot oh yeah okay yeah that’s pretty good try it off yeah why not that’s pretty good the parrot here because
I did a webinar with the national children’s Orchestra of Great Britain just now and they they they’re like oh that’s that’s a great bat that’s great that’s that’s great good a wallet under the to keep your shoulders down I just have the feeling that might be a bit I’d worry more about dropping the wallet then then playing maybe yeah why not yes recipe for success from
Stefan doors kitchen I think we’re gonna get that up Heidi says The Fearless performance workshop with Jeff Nelson yeah he’s done a lot of that that’s really good Michael D wants to know about fermenting blueberries now this has nothing to do with the master class this is going to be the kitchen thing but actually it needs a week so it’s not it’s not something you can do it in a master class from my kitchen it’s very healthy yeah all the fermented things like kimchi and yes
Cynthia says take every opportunity to play for someone which is exactly what we just suggested churches a friend neighbors a little bit difficult at the moment try simple simple pieces like Freud is’s prunes absolutely do the prunes Freud is for it’s not it’s not fermenting but it’s not fermented prunes I was thinking boys prunes and explain what
Freud is prunes are because that sounds like a nice no region yeah do you ask Lewis says do you are students in master classes about their education and their teachers I’ve got a comment on that but I asked you that first Stefan um I actually because I usually don’t know where they come from sometimes I know because it’s the university there or whatever but
I’m always interested in like how long they play alright that is sometimes an interesting just fact to know that if someone plays already from ten years or just for four years and how old what grade they’re I and that is always yeah I I do want to know that I always want to know that especially what who’s their teacher or where they study because that has a lot to do with the style that they play and of course it’s not our right to change the style of someone’s playing you know everyone has their own musical ideas and if they’ve been brought up this way then
That’s great of course you know just because we want something one way we play something one way doesn’t mean it’s the right way for everybody it’s just the way we prefer it and that’s what we can teach because that’s what we like but just because we’re in the Berlin filled doesn’t mean that’s the end of it that that’s how it just has to be unless you play in our section and then that’s how it has to be no that’s very different ways to play so and that so stay like this what
I find stress is when the teacher is in the audience and then you see there’s some huge problem that you’re just dying to change and the teachers sitting right there yes yeah it is it’s really not not that easy Alexandra just said she remember in the Erich to Williger horn hangout a master class he does warm-ups and stretches those really help against they make me calm they’re really good ones there anything that and you gave really good tips chiffon do you remember when we were about to go on stage
I think it was that week where where they changed the transposition of a piece that we were thought it was going to be in a vat so and all of a sudden OB Basso and all the sudden be ultra and we were ready to go on stage and I was did it ruined my week I tell you
I’m down Simon came up on the first rehearsal was like guys did you know that this is her that was no even B flat B but I was sitting down doing some breathing exercise and you said get up walk around now why did you tell me that no did just you know all that otherwise you go onstage and your heartbeat gets up and you’re a lot prepared for that
I feel a little you know if you make your body work a bit before you go onstage that usually hurts already because you know that that kicking in nervousness with heartbeat and then this is you can avoid that it really helps to stay a little bit moving around and on your feet before you do something you know and that’s hard for if it’s a master class if someone’s been sitting down and waiting you know an hour and a half for their turn that’s hard
I always recommend the people to go out of contributor to go out like 15 minutes before they have to play to display some notes although they just come out of the coat come off the cold I love the master class situation where you’re trying to teach someone on stage and you hear the guy warming up really loud who’s playing who’s coming next so that’s a master class no no don’t warm up loud right in front of the door before you go on
Mimi from Mississippi hello Mimi from Mississippi that’s fun to say said she saw a car leister clarinet master class which he had the student play standing on one foot to take her mind off the nerves now I’m not quite sure horn on one foot is a good idea but this is a technique that’s in the inner game of me there we go he’s gonna show us for it yeah but but it’s it’s sometimes a really good thing to just take the attention away for example
I’ve had people try to play some fast passage in isn’t in in a master class and they’ve been really thinking about their fingers and I just sort of tapped the end of their of their of their Elberon suddenly they think about the end of their elbow and their fingers work you know it’s an inner game of music technique it’s just taking the awareness somewhere else and getting your brain to just do what is practiced rather than it’s going oh
I’m so nervous though yeah Stefan I have a question so what should people wear from after classes should one get dressed up in jackets I think I think whatever whatever you I think it is a part usually is performing so I would I would nod you know maybe I’m not really dressed up in it in a suit and a tie but
I would like wants to take something that is like a bit nicer and just so let you feel it’s a special moment for yourself set I like that totally agree with that totally agree with that now you’ve disappeared very large on my screen sorry about that there are really people watching everywhere everyone wants the food they really like that idea so
I think Stefan that’s what we’re going to be doing very very soon we’ll have to organise that John is off do you have a couple of on the Facebook do you have a curved ice in here no here it is do you have a couple of points themes that always come up in master classes things you find yourself saying possibly more frequently than you’d like to you can make yeah yes
Stefan’s actually sometimes I’ve seen him in master classes in a Japan clinic where we get a lot of little girls and the clinics and the through wasn’t breathing and Stefan blew on her and she almost fell over it was she were you that was because of the garlic that was probably because of the guy maybe it was
Korea actually and this girl that is definitely a thing we say in every master class use your air so Stefan if someone is saying that in a master class do you use your air and you’re scared we’ve used we’ve we’ve talked about feeling your head being pulled up your shoulder blades back to open this up are there any other tips you can think of like immediate fixes that you can use in a master closet don’t put your legs too much together so that you have a very stable standing like that
I’m sorry mum yeah my my my we can tell the story that’s in the interval of a digital concert hall live broadcast my mom sent us a text and she said why are you all playing with your legs wide open she said it did not look like yours especially for you for me okay he said your legs are always so wide open you knew and because you know
I sit properly I stood up straight and I’m not I didn’t count I can’t support if my legs are touched it my knees are touching and so so we giggled a little bit about that and and then after the concert finish for the for the for the applause Stefan said kana everybody put your legs together so whole section like this with our legs together and exactly at home and the camera was on the horns there we go the camera was on the horns of my mum saw it so she was very proud we always make this joke about having our knees together so yeah just
So that you really have a stable stand us I see a lot of people then like going on one foot and the other foot goes like up or like tabs on I think that sometimes you know if you really want to to feel very comfortable and stable just first and stable tea yeah I have to say that master class really sounds like a doctoral dissertation defense
I tell you it is why do we do them yeah that’s true good I mean I I think Stefan that those are so many tips and I think I had some Tim needs to get to bed and we said we’d do a short one today of 30 minutes and it’s now 33 minutes is it a little repertoire what would you suggest horn players to play in a master class with a non horn playing guests like a trumpet professor who plays the viola is always watching
John Michell you hear that shout out I told Stefan that there’s a fellow viola player who always watches our horn hangouts in New York John Michell and Stefan is a closet viola player as we all know now and I’m still waiting for him to play the viola and he keeps having excuses like that’s not my view ola ya know
I’m glad to do a lot for the fish what I’m going to cook in the open yeah cooking master class or something Oh oh my goodness I’m getting excited about this I’m getting excited about this um but that’s a good question about what should you play in a master class for a non horn playing professor play something which you know will you can talk about music because the guy is not gonna start talking about lip trills and low horn embouchure if he’s a trumpet player you know don’t you agree no absolutely
I mean that’s this is this is why I was saying take pieces that you know well and you might you know play without the music and then you know and then get tips musically and not only you know some yeah input what I love about our horn hangout audience really I adore you all as you know but they come up there offering advice to everyone else and
I love this because this it’s it’s a hangout it’s not just me and Stefan it’s all of you and that’s what we love and and we’ll we’ll Sizemore just said if you squat out Stefan’s left the room I’m just what for a second before playing standing it makes you feel more grounded or good posture come on Stefan we’re gonna squat and then
I think I’d probably fall over yeah okay so the next time we see someone squat in our master class then we’ll know but actually that might be very very good advice I was actually just pump you that’s a job good there are so many so many good things so thank you for all your if you have if any of you have any advice for any of us write it in we want to know
I want to know something you can think about this and write it in the chat after which has been your favorite horn video during lockdown there has been there have been so many I seen them out the craziest things you have you seen lots of them stuff Fontenot which ones would you recommend Stefan to look at you know
I saw I saw a Bohemian Rhapsody the day I I saw something from the greatest showman on earth we did we did Michael Jackson yeah I feel suggested that I don’t do anything because I’m just not your on the horn hangouts every day come on no but not play I’m not doing multi multi channel recordings and I’m just like the others can do the multi-channel recordings and we need you on the horn
Hangouts so okay let’s stay like that okay so thank you for that let us know which one’s your favorites were because my favorite orchestral thing was the the radio de France they did an amazing version so yeah Tony smell says thanks again it’s fun to hang out with you it’s fun to hang out with you too we’ll be back on
Wednesday now I think I’m trying to persuade Andrew Bain to do his warm-up live on Wednesday but it’s 6 o’clock in the morning in LA and it means all his students well know it would be nine o’clock where most of his students are we’re working on that we’ll see it’s quite fun to warm up with a drew has a system on zoom’ where everyone mutes themselves and one student says one exercise and then we all play it’s quite cool
I’ve joined it on it’s not chaos like most warm-ups you know like ours like a room before we ride we haven’t quite sussed it out yet but but we’ll see well we’ll see keeping that look out on the website and we’ll let you know what’s coming on Wednesday but for now yeah any any funny story from master class or from you know yeah yeah
I have one really have you know actually musters was like a home you know a honk last concert and we had four of my friends students at the time too and they were like trying to perform a honk runs head on bargain tubas and they actually tried to tune and the first one splitted the chilly note and the second one split and third one and fourth couldn’t play anymore is just laughing and then they’re trying to start it couldn’t they couldn’t play it just like all the times in our teachers that uptown come on well vogner tuba is actually quite a funny thing
I would not want to play a vogner tuba oh we can do a botnet super hangout we could but we’d have to go and get them from the filler money baka tiburones fun with you play that’s for people [Music] okay thanks for watching everybody will have the hang up album up on on YouTube very very soon so you if you’ve just joined which
I’ve just seen some people just joining now you’ve missed all the great of masterclass tips and we’ll have some more it’s yeah we just love to hear from you so let us know what horn videos you like to watch and let us know any funny masterclass stories and if you have any tips for anyone else somebody was asking about online mic microphones for online teaching we’re happy to know that any advice you have for us put it in there if you got yours yet
Stefan I’ve got mine the problem is on the website where I’m teaching on it doesn’t realize it it doesn’t realize it as an input but it’s a very good microphone there’s a little one but it’s really it’s really a VM lies and gives my son so bad I mean the thing is the quality of the sound you like record also online on the teaching is sometimes it’s not very good so
