I attended Appalachian State 65-69 studying trumpet under Dr. Elmer White, and was fortunate to travel with Dr. White and several other brass players to Roy’s studio in New York. I was thrilled; the greatest players around came to the “chops doctor” for advice when they ran into problems. I remember him being extremely knowledgeable and patient, with the solitary goal of helping other musicians. Thanks to all those associated with this web site, and to others, who honor him by carrying on his legacy, and in turn continue to contribute to the success of brass players.
