Weston Sprott is the 2nd Trombonist in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. I had the pleasure of sitting with him on a recent excursion to New York City. His wisdom and poise bely his young age. I was completely blown away by him. I’m sure you will be, too. He’s possessed of a tireless work ethic, humility, great sense of humor, and MUSICALITY to spare.

He was very kind in sharing with us all his guide to “Audition Preparation” (apparently, it works!) That PDF document will be available as a supplement to this video. I think we all owe Weston a big THANKS for his willingness to share it…..it’s great!

Weston, thanks for the visit and the wonderful interview! Best of luck to you, sir, as you aim towards the highest musical peaks.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we proudly present Mr. Weston Sprott…….

I’ve been talking about it for some time, but at last it is here, my friends. The first part of my interview with Sam Pilafian. If you do not know Mr. Pilafian, I am really pleased to make the introduction. Once you meet him, you may never be the same kind of musician again, so be prepared. He has such powers:-)

Most of us, of course, know and love Sam from his days with The Empire Brass. Some of us met him when we first encountered The Breathing Gym, the outstanding DVD/book he did in collaboration with Pat Sheridan. They since have completed The Brass Gym, and both of those you should probably own. Find them here:

Honestly, though, you just won’t find a nicer, hipper, cooler,more musical, more fun-loving, more travelled, more thoughtful, more compassionate guy than Mr. Sam Pilafian. I met him while on tour with the Boston Brass this past December. I will have more video from that tour in the very near future. Everyone associated with The Boston Brass is amazing. Please visit their website:

Hope you enjoy this one! Thanks to Sam for being such a gracious participant. Part 2 coming soon.

BTW- the clips from this and upcoming videos from Chicago and New York would not have been possible without the kindness of Bob Scarr (superb trombonist and flight-plan coordinator for Delta Airlines here in Atlanta.) I can’t thank him enough, so I’ll thank him often. This one’s for you, Bob! Trombone Love to you, sir.
