Autorenporträt

Raymond Miles was born in London, England, moving to the South East of England at a young age. He started to learn the trumpet as a young teenager and has had the opportunity to play in brass bands, wind bands, and an orchestra for many years and still continues to play. He taught his daughter to play the trumpet, and when she was about eight, she joined a cadet marching band. Raymond was asked to teach, and the years that followed gave him so much pleasure of seeing young boys and girls opening up their minds to the joy that music can bring, and they were all committed to doing their very best. They all pulled together as a corps and would care for each other; in some cases, forming long-lasting friendships. It was those special memories that gave him the inspiration to write "The New Recruit," and he hopes that reading it gives you as much pleasure he had in writing it.
