🇩🇪 Last Germany post... Such an absolute delight to be on the course working with @anabelvoigt @t.er.e.s.a. I first met these two wonderful ladies on this course back in 2018, following which they both came to study tenor horn at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Now Teresa and Anabel have both graduated and are back in Germany, on with their next stages of study and developing the next generation of Tenor Horn players - full circle!! So very proud of them both as is everyone at Blechklang 😊 by @birmconsbrass
