> Anyone out there going to the Alessi Seminar (August 3-11) this year?   
> I just heard from my good friend Jon Whitaker that there are actually  
> a few auditor spots left.
> 
> I have participated twice, in 2003 and in 2007.   As a professional  
> trombone player myself, I really enjoy the learning environment that  
> Joe has created.  I'm not sure how it happens this way, but it always  
> feels like everyone checks their egos at the door, and everyone ends  
> up learning from one another, as well as from Joe.
> 
> Yes, I studied with Joe, and I may be a bit biased, but I am still  
> amazed that I always come away from these seminars having learned  
> something new, not to mention being truly inspired and pumped up to  
> practice.  You also won't want to miss Joe's recital.  He always pull  
> out all the stops for this recital!
> 
> I plan to be there for the first half of the seminar as an auditor  
> this year.  If you have any questions about it, please feel free to

> Michael Jordan. The opportunity to witness this great player and  
> teacher personally for a week will change your life. It did mine and I  
> continue to learn from him each Seminar. Why not experience the best  
> that trombone has to offer in a beautiful setting such as Albuquerque?  
> Plus…I have never had a bad meal in Albuquerque."  I whole-heartedly  
> agree with Pete!
