We normally have a chance to talk during the West Chester Trumpet Festival (as I get a full range of history and trumpet knowledge from you each time, and enjoy our time together immensely), but this year I can't make it out as I'll be in Portugal - doing a little playing. I'm still spit buzzing and I incorporate several ideas of your teachings - as you may recall, it wasn't too far off from what I was doing before. But, your tutorial and time you spent with me has helped! Even though I don't play on your equipment, you have always treated me with kindness and a willingness to share your knowledge. Not too many people do that in today's world! Thank you.I look forward to seeing you again someday very soon! All the best in 2010 and beyond. James Ackley http://trumpet.music.sc.edu |

After West Chester Trumpet Festival (Jan.30-31), one of the guest players from Switzerland, Olivier Anthony Theurillat (Principal Trumpet of Berne Symphony Orchestra, Professor of Lausanne Conservatoire), visited Jerry’s studio with his 2 students, Johan Dubi and Cyril Ledermann. They had lessons/discussion with Jerry in the morning and tried the SIMA trumpets in the afternoon. After a lot of fun playing everyone found their favorite horns at the end of the day. 
Cyril Ledermann, Professor Theurillat, Johan Dubi Dear Mr. Callet, I just arrived in Switzerland. My students and I were so happy to have had the chance of meeting you. Your technique tips, your dedication to the trumpet and the music, well, we will remain inspired by your great passion. Thank you so much for such a great moment. I wish you all the best and hope to see you next time when I am in the US.

Since a couple of weeks now, I have more experience with your technique and your SIMA trumpet. I must be very grateful and thankful: I have really improved since I met you! The tongue (curled) in between the teeth, that's the secret! Results: my sound is more centered, my high register is more secure, my endurance has grown, my staccato is clearer and quicker, my projection is more efficient, my intonation is easier (less use of alternate fingering). Well, you see, a big success! These last weeks, I was busy with different types of theater productions and I have used your SIMA for Sweet Charity (beautiful sounding high F!) and Tchaikovsky's Eugen Onegin (powerful sound but supple as well). The other positive thing is the use of your technique with my 5 students. Cyril and Johan went on developing, the other 3 are now on the rail too, with good results already. Well, this meeting with you was a gift! Best wishes to you, Olivier Theurillat |
