Interviews

The Brass Junkies Podcast

This conversation with Dr. Bethany Wiese, Professor of Tuba and Euphonium at Appalachian State University, was incredibly engaging.

We had a deep conversation about things like how applying restrictions to the creative process can actually free you up to be more creative, the value of being “intelligently unpredictable” and separating the output of you as a musician with you as a person.

“At Tuba-Euphonium Workshop, women outnumbered, not outgunned”

“As the U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" hosted the 35th annual Tuba-Euphonium Workshop at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall's Brucker Hall Jan. 31 to Feb. 3, a few of the musicians on hand stood out for one simple, but striking reason.

They are women.

Reflecting the prevailing demographics of the low-brass community for which the workshop serves as a yearly showcase, only six of the 50 tuba or euphonium players listed by name as performers on this year's program were female.

An open reading session held on Thursday evening was attended by 41 professional and amateur tuba and euphonium players, nine of whom were women.

A Friday morning panel discussion between music educators featured one woman and four men.”
