About Me

Thomas Dryer-Beers
Welcome to my Wind Player Advice Blog. I have tried to contribute articles addressing a wide spectrum of topics of interest to woodwind and brass students, performers and teachers. Some of these entries have appeared as articles in the Journal of the Clarinet and Saxophone Society of Great Britain (CASS) to which I also contribute answers to questions posed in my column 'The Single Reed Doctor'. Please see my first blog entry for a more in depth biography and where I also explain my reasons for blogging. I hope and trust that any reader will find item(s) of interest within and hope that they might share these thoughts and suggestions with friends, colleagues and pupils.Your comments are welcomed. Thomas
