| "Hey Dale, I was just browsing through some Sorensen home pages, and came across yours. Your music sounds great. I used to play trombone in my high school jazz band. And my last name is Sorensen. Not exactly a mind blowing coincidence, but I thought worthy of a quick note! Keep up the great music!" |

| "Hi! After coming across your page about a week ago (in search of tips for playing lip slurs), I saw you in person on the weekend at the Rose Bowl competition at UPEI. I play trombone with the Halifax Schools Symphony Orchestra and we attended the concert because our conductor, Gary Ewer, was one of the adjudicators. Lovely concert, lovely island, and best of luck!" |

"G'day, Thanks for the tips on trombone glissandos. I'm just beginning to compose for big band, and the info was exactly what I was looking for. You might consider further reducing the information to a single staff containing every playable gliss. When I was chatting to one of the trombone players after the band played the first draft of a piece, he pointed out some other things I hadn't thought of. For instance, I hadn't appreciated that the trombone "speaks" very slowly in the bottom range. The sharp "boom" sound I expected came out as a "pthhbbbbwmmmmmmm". So you might consider adding some info about register and dynamics etc." [Dale's note: I don't usually post responses here, but I just have to respond to the comment about trombones speaking late. It is not always the case that trombones speak late in the low range; in fact, trombones can be quite punchy down there. Too often we trombonists hear from conductors that we're late, and begin to believe that that's just the way it is, instead of doing something about it. I work really hard with my students to eliminate that stereotype. It does take a little more effort to achieve than it would for a trumpeter, say, but it is possible, indeed preferable, to begin notes on time. Neither players nor conductors should settle for less.] |

| "Hello Dale, My name is Dale Arthur Sorensen. I came across your site surfing Google for our name. I find it interesting that you are a musician, as I am one as well. I play the F Alto Horn in the Moravian Band here in the Winston-Salem area. My son has the real talent of the family. He started to play Clarinet at 7 years old; he plays piano, cornet, percussion and is starting Baritone for marching band. Maybe one day I will be able to catch you in concert. Take care, Dale Sorensen (Art)" |
