Tanglewood Music Center Trumpet Master Class Part 3

Trumpet Mast Class Part 3
The class led by Thomas Rolfs, a Tanglewood Music Center Fellow in 1978, and second trumpet Benjamin Wright, a TMC Fellow in 1996 and 1997, features instruction in playing within a section.
This class is designed to enhance trumpet players' perception of how they sound to an audience, their role within the brass section, and how a trumpet section sounds within a musical space.

Man! You can really hear Roger in Thomas' playing. Amazing! I was just waiting to hear the Solfege come flying out while working with these players.

I watched all 3 parts. Great stuff. Please continue to post more stuff as it occurs!

[@MathewHarwich]

I agree with what he says about articulations... the attack is everything on striking through the orchestra in recording... so easy to overlook, all about that initial transient in the sound that gives the tone any substance at all

[@MrKlemps]

Would really like to hear the girl playing the first part.

[@MrTrackman100]

Very instructive. Thanks.

[@NLst3ve]

thanks for sharing, this is really interesting

I think the one in the yellow shirt is from Northwestern, pretty sure I saw a video of him playing with the Northwestern Trumpet Ensemble, he played piccolo on an arrangement of Von Suppe's Poet and Peasant Overture. Unless they just look really similar haha

[@AdenosinePush]

the Strauss sounds like a total beast to play...of course you guys DESTROYED it though :)

It's like Bam Margera meets a Recess live action cast and they live in a world where trumpet playing is all that matters

HE HAS NO FREAKI'N air. Put the girl on 1st; 2nd player to 3rd; and SLOW IT DOWN. PLEASE Mr. Rolfs.

[@mutex1024]

It's a learning experiance, so it's good that they are not all playing the parts they are currently best at.

[@andrewwhitfield5480]

It is time to leave with prejudice when an instructor or teacher picks up an instrument and plays the part for the pupil. When a teacher does that it is a clear indication that individual cannot articulate the lesson being taught. No matter how smart you are nor how well you play the preforming individual will always be behind the instrument therefore behind the sound. This video portrays a great example of how to cheat the student.
