The Orchestral Repertoire Seminar is a high-intensity performance class designed to aid in not only the preparation of the standard orchestra trumpet repertoire, but also to help train the aspiring orchestral player in the dynamics of performing in an orchestral trumpet section. Participants will be selected by audition and will number between three and six students. Participants are expected to prepare all parts of the assigned repertoire and perform it with the section in each weekly meeting.
The required text for this seminar is Essential Orchestral Excerpts for Trumpet, Vols. 1-16, ed. Dobrzelewski
