A social media activist has circulated a video of Albrecht Mayer, solo oboist of the Berliner Philharmoniker, teaching a class at Ann Arbor Michigan with the use of touch, which is no longer considered acceptable in the US.
There have been 15,000 views and 122 comments in a matter of hours.
You can watch the short video below and here.
Mayer has posted a happy photo (below) at the end of his Ann Arbor class with the caption: Maddie – My most gifted student from my masterclass in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is always a great pleasure to accompany and promote talented young musicians. Good Luck, Maddie!
