My second Murikka band camp conducting course was led by the American brass music enthusiast Paul Niemistö. I mostly remember his beautiful soprano voice when he was singing some high woodwind parts, and the fact that he liked a beating pattern system where all the beats occur at the same point - which I had to unlearn later... It was nevertheless an important experience for me. Very soon afterwards I got my first jobs as a conductor expecially in the field of wind music!
