Date: August 1-5
Event: Eastman Summer Trumpet Institute
Location: Eastman School of Music / University of Rochester, Rochester, NY (USA).
Faculty: James Thompson, Doug Prosser, Wes Nance
Fun filled, highly motivating four-day clinic hosted by Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Principal Trumpet Douglas Prosser and Second Trumpet Wesley Nance. Master classes, mock auditions, daily group warm up sessions using buzzing techniques, and ensemble playing will provide students with daily performance opportunities and will focus on developing successful mental attitudes, styles and techniques for great recital performances, orchestral playing, and audition success. Eastman Professor James Thompson wll offer tutorials with individual students and give an in-depth pedagogy class (involving all participants) on his unique approach to buzzing. Other topics will include E-flat/D and piccolo trumpet mastery, chamber music style and preparation, and the development of critical listening skills. Special attention will be given to preparation for college and orchestral auditions, and individual exit interviews will give each student the information they need to evaluate how their current level of playing and musicianship compares to their ultimate goals on the trumpet. A shared faculty recital program highlighting traditional and modern solo repertoire will open the session.
