What an amazing week! I’ve had the extraordinary privilege of spending the past few days with John Taylor. He was invited to coach student ensembles at Birmingham Conservatoire and I was lucky enough to be picked to be in one of them. We then got to play an entire set with the man himself! It was an incredible experience, one I shall never forget.
