I had the honor and benefit of studying with tubaist and breathing-guru Arnold Jacobs in 1980 and 1982. In December 2023 my wife Mary and I had reason to return to the Fine Arts Building (also known as The Artist's Studio Building), 410 South Michigan Avenue, Room 428, where I had experienced such positive and profound changes in my trombone-playing in a very short time under his tutelage—and where I'd immediately sit on the bench outside his studio and write notes after lessons.
