Grâce à un réseau de centres d'artistes et d'ateliers répartis dans le monde entier, Yamaha travaille avec des musiciens de premier plan pour soutenir leurs performances et développer des conceptions d'instruments et de nouvelles idées au profit de tous les musiciens. Les artistes Yamaha partagent avec nous la passion d'inspirer la prochaine génération de musiciens et la conviction que chacun doit être encouragé à cultiver son talent, à se rapprocher des autres et à raconter son histoire à travers la musique.

How does your instrument help you in your daily life as an artist? How would you characterise your instrument?
My instrument helps me in my daily life as a musician in many ways. I believe consistency is a keyword here. The trombone has a great feel and sound throughout the whole register in all dynamics. The versatility of the instrument makes me capable of expressing myself in demanding repertoire across a wide range of genres.
Who was your most influential teacher and is there any advice which you still follow?
I’ve been very lucky to have had the opportunity to study with several wonderful teachers, such as Leif V. Larsen, Blair Sinclair and PK Svensen. If I were to mention only one it has to be Grethe Tonheim. She’s been a huge inspiration to me on so many levels, both as a musician and teacher. Always sharing generously from her wisdom - I often find myself reflecting on her take on things. The most important lesson from her is probably the most obvious, but still a lesson to be learnt - to work hard to achieve my goals.
Advice for a young musician:
Quite the cliché, but true nonetheless: Follow your dreams, and work hard to get there.
"En tant que membre du Stavanger Brass Band, j’ai une relation avec Yamaha depuis un certain temps, mais il est vrai que ce n’est que récemment que les trombones Yamaha ont attiré mon attention. Après avoir visité l’atelier, mis au point un instrument sur mesure, j’ai eu du mal à croire au résultat final. »
