About the Program

The trumpet program offers a sound and versatile education divided into three areas: pedagogical, solo and orchestral. In the first semesters, all students undergo broad-based basic training together, with later opportunities to focus on individual specializations based on personal abilities and professional goals. A central component is ensemble work, with students playing in various ensembles and styles from classical brass ensembles to chamber music formations. Solo playing is intensively encouraged with opportunities to present as soloists in public concert evenings. The program offers targeted preparation for orchestral careers, with systematic teaching of orchestral positions and regular internal auditions. A special offering is 'Orchestral playing in a historical context,' focusing on baroque instruments like the baroque trumpet - ideal for those interested in historical performance practice.
