Looks like digital seminars are all the rage this summer. STS just announced that they are doing that event as streaming only and the Brass Junkies guys just announced a 4 day seminar with some real heavy hitters.

While I am sure these would be fun to watch, given that you can already access thousands of hours of various master classes and performances on YouTube, I am unlikely to pay money to watch other brass players on my computer.

Well, with COVID-19 these seminars kind of have to go to digital or face not having one at all.

While YouTube university is great, and I use it often, you can't be interactive with previously recorded videos and the host is usually talking in a general sense and not to you. RMBI is focusing on the community aspect where you can ask questions and interact with the faculty and other participants to build connections.

I wouldn't put watching YouTube videos on the same level as attending RMBI, STS, or Brass Junkies Academy in a virtual format.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
