Michael teaches the Balkan Brass Ensemble at East European Folklife Festival camps each year. His teaching method is to play a recording of the piece, then to teach each part (by ear) to each group of instruments, and then to bring it all together. In the 2 hour time he plans to teach 2 pieces.
“Balkan brass band music is a highly intricate, stirring, tradition-gone-wild blend with mighty layers of sound that not only make the heart pound faster but reveal the soul alongside the heart. It's the soul of a region that knows the value of taking a break from seriousness every so often, at least long enough to throw a party where the horns are never less than first rate”. Tom Orr, for National Geographic .
