Trumpet Study at The Hartt School

Brass performance training at Hartt is a comprehensive program designed to prepare trumpeters for careers as performers in the 21st century. Students receive a weekly one-hour private lesson with Kevin Cobb or Jay Lichtmann, each an internationally recognized artist/teacher on his instrument.

Practical application of technical and musical knowledge acquired in weekly lessons is effected through various training and performance opportunities. Whether as a soloist or as a member of an orchestra or wind ensemble section, performance majors are taught and have the opportunity to practice skills necessary for participation in recitals, chamber music, orchestral repertoire classes, wind ensemble, chamber orchestra, symphony orchestra, operatic and musical theatre productions and large orchestra-choral masterworks provide students the environment to hone those skills with colleagues equally intent on achieving perfection as musicians.

Annual competitions allow winning students to perform concerti with the orchestra or wind ensemble.
