Tanglewood Music Center Trumpet Master Class Part 2

Trumpet Mast Class Part 2
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.

The face of Ryan Beach at 14:41 is how I always remember him. Great video!!

[@lwskiner]

This is truly a great video and should act as an important pedagogical tool. I hope that this circulates to high schools and colleges from coast to coast. Could have come in handy for myself at that age.

Great video. I am humbled. I am from a previous generation when our sound was unashamedly more distinctive and less homogenous. Play principle in multiple distinctive but smaller orchestras. Early adapter for baroque trumpet. However the last thing in the world is for those students to be rough on the high notes. Have a flyer if you must but never on the big one. Air focus and mental confidence

[@jesse-lx8we]

Just to add more comments, those students were out of tune all the time ....they need to spend more time on Ear training also

[@farquell5782]

see you do better

[@refrain5277]

You're the one that needs to focus on ear training. Not all of the time was it out of tune.

[@farquell5782]

billy axler which chord tones on which chords and sharp or flat? u realise that maj 3rds should be lowered as will as dim 7 etc?

[@michaelstrom5532]

They are actaully quite out of tune in a few places, but that is not too strange. I guess they haven't played much together, maybe didnt even tune together? I mean, they are great players, for sure they just need to find each other more

[@kevincabeza8116]

You know how difficult it is to transpose stay I tune all together and still sound musical? They are transposing from F to their C trumpets
