Trumpet Workshop

June 17 – June 30, 2012

Ages 14-20

Directed by Terry Everson, outstanding pedagogue, soloist, chamber and orchestral musician, the Trumpet Workshop addresses all aspects of trumpet playing and technique, including warm-up routines, breathing, set-up, intonation, phrasing, articulation, and embouchure.  Both standard solo repertoire and orchestral excerpts are covered in the workshop.  Students also play in trumpet quartets and larger trumpet ensembles.

Students participate in daily master classes with material drawn from solo, chamber, and orchestral literature.  Each student works with the director in a weekly performance class to practice audition and recital techniques in an informal setting.

The complete trumpet family is discussed and reviewed during the workshop.  Master classes by guest artists are offered throughout the session and provide students an opportunity to work with artist/teachers such as David Krauss, Adam Luftman, and other distinguished guests.

Students have the opportunity to work individually with a coach/accompanist in preparation for master classes and the closing solo and ensemble trumpet workshop recital.
