Learn to play musically and with a great sound. If you can do this you will be ahead of almost everyone else your age. Good luck.

I will say that if as a youngster you realize that musicality is the most important aspect of trumpet playing you are off to a great start. If you go into your auditions making strong musical statements there are going to be some happy audition committees.

| Remember that when professors hold auditions, they are not necessarily looking for the best player. They will be looking for someone whose personality will fit with the rest of the studio at the school. Also, they look for someone who has an open mind and someone who will be flexible and easy to get along with. Make sure you keep your grades up in high school too because they want someone who will be smart enough to figure out how to fix things on their own. In that way, they can guarantee that in four years you will be an amazing player and an asset to their school! |
