I studied with Ian Greitzer from the Pops Esplanade Orchestra and Ken Radnofsky. It's not surprising that you couldn't get a hold of Julie, she has a reputation for being difficult to reach sometimes. She also taught at the Boston Conservatory(which is where I graduated from), and I had several classes with her. She's a fantastic teacher, especially with orchestral repertoire, and probably the most accurate accounts of Harold Wright and his teachings come from her. They had a very extended affair up until his death, and this is common knowledge in most circles. I found that out when I was studying in Washington, DC, and I mentioned her name. My teacher said something like, that name sounds familiar, wasn't that Harold Wright's girlfriend? This is particularly interesting as Wright made one of his only exceptions with her, he almost never taught women. He said "You're just going to go get married." Which band are you at?
