Excellent teaching and support
Precision Brass is an extremely well put together program. The technology is excellent, but what has impressed me most is the amount of personal input you receive from Harrison. Whenever you submit homework, you receive detailed video feedback rather than just a few written comments. Harrison is a very perceptive teacher and has an ability to identify what is actually happening in your playing and explain it in a way that makes sense. Ryan also provides thoughtful and useful feedback and brings another perspective to the exercises. The regular collaboration calls are another particularly valuable part of the program. They are fully recorded and transcribed, so even if you can’t attend live you can watch them afterwards and easily find the parts that are relevant to you. There is also plenty of opportunity to ask questions in the group between calls. One thing I would say to anyone considering Precision Brass is that it is a significant investment, and you really need to have the time to participate actively if you are going to get value from it. That means practising every day, submitting video homework every week, attending the collaboration calls where possible (or watching them afterwards), and asking questions in the group as soon as they occur to you. There is a great deal of individual attention available, but you do need to make use of it. If you have the time and are prepared to engage fully with the program, the combination of the technology, the course materials and, above all, the access to Harrison and Ryan provides an unusually high level of support.
