Our youth ensemble LYSO and LSSO were lucky to be joined by Tim Jackson, Principal Horn Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and an alumni of the orchestra, for a Q&A session during their weekly zoom practice!A huge thank you to Tim Jackson, Principal Horn Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and an alumni of our orchestra who took part in a Q&A session this morning with our players - we could have gone on all day!
A great set of questions from our players with Tim's answers covering everything from bandeons to Bernard Haitink and everything in between!
Key takeaways from Tim's advice and experience:
1. Our attitude to learning and a drive to always want to know more and be better is so important.
2. Always striving to make our music sound meaningful and beautiful and to take the risks needed to do this - listeners can hear our intent of whether we are striving for something special even if it doesn't come off - so always go for the music!
