The Brass Junkies: David Zerkel
Andrew Hitz
Listen via
David Zerkel is someone I look up to in the tuba world for a number of reasons. First of all, he does things as a soloist on the tuba that simultaneously inspire and depress me! He is a true master technician but that fact completely takes a back seat to his artistry. He is a world class player in every sense of the term.
But I also look up to David as a teacher. He is incredibly well spoken and has the ability to always be teaching whoever is in front of him.
You'll hear in this interview what I mean in this interview of The Brass Junkies.
Note: You can find an incredible collection of David Zerkel quotes from a master class he gave at George Mason here:
