[Trombone-l] musicianship question

[Jay Sheridan]

For all those that do any teaching, how do you teach a student (or group- band/orch etc) to play musically? I have tried several different ways, but none seem to be working. I have a group that can perform rhythmically and in tune, but is lacking musically. The group in question is actually a choir, but I usually think in trombone terms when talking to them anyways.

Thanks
