Remembering a Great Musical Mentor

from Musicianship Mastery with David Lane · host David Lane

I've discussed Dr. William Schirmer no less than 4 times on this podcast before.  He was my music composition professor for 4 years as well as an extremely prolific composer in his own right.  He sadly passed away very recently, and this episode is a chance to tell the world more about this bonafide musical genius as well as the lessons he taught me and my friends that still influence how we see the world of music today.  Every great musician needs a great mentor, and this is the experience I had with mine! Book a free trial lesson with me online for piano, music composition, or music theory.
