Teaching
Bringing up future musicians and enriching the more experienced is part of Gordon’s daily life for the past decade. He has a passion for aspiring brass players. He keeps three days open to teach at the Music and Arts Center in Charlotte and one day to assist at Wingate University.
The Process
Gordon stresses that the two main things to think about while playing a brass instrument are the sound you desire to make and the air. Brass tradition has passed the particulars of this concept from teachers to students for generations. One's connection with the instrument is of particular concern, so that the brass can respond as a natural part of one’s body.
