Eastman Summer Trumpet Institute

INS 455 Eastman Summer Trumpet Institute: Addressing the various needs of today’s collegiate and advanced high school players, the Eastman Summer Trumpet Institute is a fun-filled, highly motivating five-day online experience hosted by Wesley Nance (Second Trumpet, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra; Trumpet Faculty, Eastman Community Music School) and an invited guest instructor (TBA). Students will participate in masterclasses with faculty critique and group discussion. The institute will feature daily topical sessions such as: warm-up, practice strategies, technique, and interpretation. Students will participate in college or orchestral mock auditions and get feedback from faculty. Students will explore ways to develop successful mental attitudes, styles, and techniques for great recital performances, orchestral playing, and audition success. Finally, students will perform a capstone concert as soloists and as members of a trumpet ensemble. Dust your trumpet off, get back in shape, and join us as we explore the challenges and excitement of playing this fantastic instrument!
