Recital and Masterclass Programs

Masterclass Topics:

* Finding One's Sound and Building the Young Trumpeter's Tool Box
  • This masterclass topic focuses on the idea of relating learning an instrument to the study of a foreign language. Finding someone who speaks that "language" fluently is an important detail. Once one finds the right model or aural influence, the player will begin "speaking" the language of the trumpet by replicating idiosyncrasies in that particular performer that will build upon the established skill level of the listener and thus, contribute to the individual performer's "tool box."

* Approaching Music of the 20th and 21st Century
  • Approaching the music of the 20th and 21st century can be daunting and, in many cases, can deter students from studying this repertoire. Providing a way for students to approach this repertoire allows the growth of not only the general performance of new music, but also a deeper understanding and love for some of the most difficult repertoire in our field. The idea that music can be broken in to smaller segments for practice and mental processing allows the performer to address pedal or "goal" notes in each piece. Focusing on goal notes allows the performer to categorize preceding or surrounding figurations as ornamental figures. This process does not apply just to contemporary music, but can be used to help younger trumpeters break down difficult passages in "standard" repertoire.

 * Graduate School, Promoting Yourself, and Working in a New Environment
  • Preparing yourself and understanding what graduate school in performance can be daunting, and sometimes a scary decision. Understanding what studio teachers and schools are looking for in incoming students vary. There are several elements that are consistent throughout each school, but also elements that certain schools specialize in, and contribute to their studio members. Along with Graduate Schools, being able to adjust to a new performance environment can feel just as scary. Finding ways to not feel like "the small fish in a big pond" can help make a new city, town, or school feel more comfortable. Learning way to prepare one's self for a new environment will allow for faster growth as a practicing musician. 

* Back to the Basics and Building for a Better Future
  • While building one's "tool box", it is important to never lose sight of solid fundamentals and the basic elements of tone production. These are pieces that allow a player to have their own unique voice. If one were to neglect "tools" in their "tool box", they would have a more difficult time producing musical ideas and products they feel in their hearts. Each element should be broken down to its basic fundamental, including the aperture, and sometimes focusing on the smallest amount of detail to ensure increased growth in one's own musical performance. The more you focus on the details - the larger and more grand the musical products one will be able to express in their performance.
