MORLEY BIG STARTER BAND - MEMBERS: IAN BERLE

http://morleybigstarterband-members.blogspot.com/2009/04/ian-berle.html

MORLEY BIG STARTER BAND - MEMBERS. After a dismal start with the trumpet in my early teens and a subsequently long absence from any instrument, I started playing almost 5 years ago. I had wanted to do this instead of learning to play the trumpet, but was unable to. Yet the saxophone remained an ambition – I couldn’t walk past a saxophone in a shop window and wonder “what if……”.

MORLEY BIG STARTER BAND - MEMBERS. My musical life started at the tender age of 5 when, for my birthday my parents equipped me with a toy violin, and after a mighty effort I managed to scratch out the national anthem. My parents shouted apparently 'genius' (and I have been spending the rest of my life trying to disprove it). He got me into a brass band, but they had no vacancies for trombone, so I was put in the cornet section - and my father - bless him - then went out and bought me a cornet. Grew in st...

MORLEY BIG STARTER BAND - MEMBERS. I started drumming around the age of 13 in Birmingham and was largely self-(mis)taught. After playing in various rock bands for a few years, I moved to the capital in 1993. Following a 10 year hiatus (due to the constraints of work as an assistant engineer. In the recording industry) I returned to the instrument in 2003, began studying with drum teacher Bob Armstrong, and joined 'Starting in Big Band' in October 2008.

MORLEY BIG STARTER BAND - MEMBERS. Both my parents are keen amateur musicians, and there was always music in our house when I was a child. My dad taught me to play the recorder, and most importantly of all taught me to read music! I was able to hear a wide range of music: classical, Irish traditional music, jazz and pop. Having an elder brother who was interested in rock and pop music was also an asset! Since my dad is a Liverpudlian, I grew up listening to the Beatles back catalogue too! After graduatin...
