Item Details
Audition and Performance Preparation for Trumpet, Orchestral Literature Studies
These volumes are designed to help you more fully prepare for orchestral auditions and performances. The process involves deconstructing the materials to the most basic playing principles and then gradually reapplying the complexities on a better foundation. The exercises are extraordinarily useful even if you are not preparing an audition.
These books represent McGregor’s thirty-five years of experience at the major orchestra level (Baltimore Symphony, eleven years; Los Angeles Philharmonic, twenty-four years).
