[Trombone-l] musicianship question

[dslide13@aol.com]

I use the language metaphor always.  Playing technically without musicianship is similar to Ben Stein's monotonous tone in Ferris Bueller.   So, have them present the music as they would read lines in a play.

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
