Harvey Phillips movie about being a professional

Post by ankraf01 »

Many moons ago when I was still in high school I seem to remember someone loaning me a VHS tape with Harvey Phillips talking about making a career as a tuba player. If I remember correctly part of it was filmed in his living room in Indiana. I recall him spending considerable time setting expectations about what a professional career would look like, many of us teaching, etc...

Does anyone know the video that I'm talking about? I've spent some time looking through the archives here and around the internet but can't seem to find it. I'd love to get a copy of it if possible.

Thanks,
Aaron

Offhand, I don't recall a video with scenes as you suggest. There was a video of an interview of Harvey by John Stevens, in which Harvey discussed various aspects of a career in music (though it has been a long time, and specific recollections seem to be missing).

I would go to Indiana University and ask if they have it available for sale or on interlibrary loan. I am pretty sure they do.

Harvey gave a master class roughly along those lines at the Army's Tuba Euphonium Conference a few years ago. I was there in the live audience. They may have been webcasting--and just may have an archived file.
