Trumpet Institute

We are now accepting applications for our third annual Capital Region Summer Trumpet Institute happening July 13-16 from 9am-4-pm. This summer institute is a four-day intensive seminar at the SUNY School of Music in Schenectady, NY, for middle school and high school students ages 11-18. It is dedicated to the study of the trumpet, although other brass players are also welcome. Students will participate in rehearsals, masterclasses, jam sessions, musicianship classes, and concerts! The institute is led by Dr. Allyson Keyser, trumpet professor and Band Director at the College, and features some of the top freelance musicians and educators in the area. The Summer Trumpet Institute will provide students with an educational laboratory to learn, play, and listen. Teachers who would like to audit the session are also welcome.
In exciting news, Dr. Jennifer Oliverio is joining us as our Guest Artist this year. She composed Sunburst Suite, a work the students performed at last year's institute. Additionally, she is the trumpet professor at Missouri Western State University, director of the Fountain City Youth Brass Academy, and is a well-established player in the classical brass world in many esteemed brass ensembles and orchestras.
