"I wanted to thank you for your latest and most welcome addition to my library of method books.  Your volume does a great service to the art by advancing the discussion of possibilities that are not always exploited in the usual music we play on the horn."

"Thank you for writing your etudes! They are just the type of studies I had been looking for. Most middle register etudes are either too easy or just don't click with me musically."

I have recorded a concerto, by David Rakowski, written for me with Sequitur. Want to buy it? Find it here.
