Welcome to my web site! Here you will find information, not only about what I'm doing with the New York Philharmonic, but where and when I will be travelling for solo appearances and masterclasses. You will also find out about all the different equipment that I use on the job. Being a brass repairman and having done reasearch and development for Miraphone, and now for Meinl Weston, there is an area in Other Interests for students and pro's alike to access information about horn maintence and repair. The Baer Tracks Music area is where you will find recordings, including my new CD "Song and Dance", and will be able to purchase new arrangements and methods for brass. I hope that you find your visit here enjoyable and informative.
