In 1990, Roger came to Italy for what was to be a one year sabbatical from the LAPO. One year stretched to two, then three, and so it went, as Roger found himself a very important figure in the development of the tuba (and brass instruments in general) in Italy. He currently enjoys an annual class for brass instruments at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole near Florence.
