Lecture topics:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These specialist topics may be presented
in the form of Masters classes, clinics, or workshops, and are tailored to
meet the needs of the audience or class:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.1.
|
The Physical Trumpet Pyramid
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the title of my very first book
and I am most often asked to speak on this topic. The PTP describes a
hierarchical organization of the physical attributes of trumpet playing.
Knowing this hierarchy helps the trumpet player become a better physical
player.
|
|
|
5.2.
|
Even Steven
|
|
|
|
|
|
This clinic addresses the problems
trumpet players face when attempting to play on "both sides of the fence",
to become jazz players and classical players. Here I discuss the
importance of stylistically neutral rudiments and a balance of literature
from both sides.
|
|
|
5.3.
|
Nerves? Who Cares?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Having won a two decade long battle with
stage fright, I now have a great opportunity to share my stories and
solutions with people who are experiencing similar problems.
|
|
|
5.4.
|
An Expression of Grace
|
|
|
|
|
|
A Christian Alternative to new age
solutions for stage fright. An ideal topic for church bands or Christian
school orchestras.
|
|
|
5.5.
|
Range Familiarity
|
|
|
|
|
|
How to develop a greater range without
ever working on range. This is a "use it or lose it" approach to range
development which is completely independent of traditional range
exercises.
|
|
|
5.6.
|
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
|
|
|
|
|
|
A basic outline of my approach toward the
business side of music. We discuss general concepts and ideals first and
then move on to cover some of the more specific marketing devices.
