I also studied with Mr. Weber in High School and returned to see him for lessons during breaks after I went to college. He changed my way of playing the clarinet, always emphasizing the sound and the music. He always said "Your sound must have in it colors of silver and gold! You should be able to reach out and touch it!" He had stories of when he played in orchestras, and when he was a child first hearing the clarinet. He had an amazing life, and was an amazing man. He never gave just an hour lesson. It was alwasy 2 or 2.5 hrs. He was so giving with his time and knowlege. He never had enough to say. He took me to lunch after lessons if he didn't have another student coming afterwards. You knew the moment you walked into his apartment that you were studying with a truly passionate individual.

Mr. Weber will be truly missed.
