Huw Morgan's Trumpet Blog |
Well, another eventful month has nearly passed by, and very soon I'll be starting my second year undergraduate course at the Royal Academy of Music. However, before all that I must tell you about a wonderful week I spent in Santa Fiora, deep in the Tuscan Hills, as part of Italian Brass Week. With tutors including Jens Lindemann, Tage Larsen (2nd trumpet in the Chicago Symphony - who deputised for principal Chris Martin), Davide Simoncini, Andrea Tofanelli, Dale Clevenger, Charles Vernon, Gene Porkony and Gomalan Brass, the whole event was a fantastic opportunity to play alongside, listen to and be coached by some of the most outstanding brass musicians in the world. With all the artists performing daily concerts (in solo and 5tet capacity), it was also a pleasure to hear some other students from around Europe performing. In particular, it was great that we were all able to 'sit in' on each others lessons, thereby allowing us to gain 'free' tuition on most of the great trumpet repertoire. Added to that the wonderful Tuscan scenery and superb food made it certainly a week to remember!
