Book Description
Every year hundreds of aspiring musicians audition for positions with professional orchestras throughout the United States. This study is designed to provide a comprehensive look at professional orchestral auditions for trumpet. While other resources rely on the single opinion of their author, this study gathers information from a broad range of sources to develop its conclusions. This project was completed in three phases. In the first phase, lists of excerpts from trumpet auditions were compiled. In the second phase, an online survey of musicians who have served on a trumpet audition committee was conducted. In the final phase, four principal trumpet players of major orchestras and one conductor were interviewed to look further into the criteria and procedures used in orchestral trumpet auditions. The results of this study can be grouped into four categories: the desired qualities sought in a trumpet audition, common mistakes and concerns for those taking auditions, common mistakes and concerns for audition committees, and a discussion of the top fifteen excerpts asked in auditions. The data from this study can be used to consider two different perspectives: what does an aspiring trumpet player need to do to win an audition? And also, what should a committee want to hear? Although there is a broad range of opinion when considering trumpet auditions, certain standards remain. Also, while most of those involved in this study agree that the audition process is among the fairest ways to determine the winner of a job with an orchestra, they also agree that significant changes to the process still need to be made. This is especially true with reference to the types of excerpts asked and the audition procedures used.

Book Description
Most of the etudes in "Twenty Studies" were composed with very specific problems in mind. If you are an orchestral trumpet player working on the standard audition repertoire, this book is a must-have for your collection and should be worked into your practice regime at the earliest possible opportunity. To illustrate how the book provides solutions to very specific problems in the standard orchestral repertoire, consider the etude called "It's In There." This etude was composed specifically to address the issue of breathing in the famed Petrouchka excerpt. Practicing "It's In There" forces the musician to deal with breathing, because of the etude's length and range. When the musician learns and masters "It's In There", he or she is better equipped to handle the original etude, and returning to it (s)he will find it less demanding and not nearly as intimidating as before. Another example is the etude which deals with the intervals and phrasing of Mahler's third symphony. After mastering this etude, the challenges posed by the intervals and phrasing of the original excerpt will cease to be as formidable as many musicians originally experienced them. The book boasts several of these exaggerated etudes along with other, more generally challenging studies. All of the etudes are intended to help you prepare for your orchestral auditions.

Book Description
The purpose of this study is to create a performance guide for the challenging trumpet parts found within the orchestral works of John Coolidge Adams. Because Adams's music has found a place in today's standard orchestral repertoire, as well as on some principal trumpet audition lists, it is important for contemporary trumpet players to recognize the intricacies, innovations, and difficulties encountered within his trumpet music. The historical, theoretical, and performance elements of Adams's trumpet writing are analyzed, with the objective of developing a clear understanding of how to approach and interpret Adams's trumpet music. This study presents an overview of the trumpet parts found in Adams's music from 1979-2013, highlighting the characteristics of his style of trumpet writing. Eight of Adams's most challenging trumpet parts were selected for in-depth examination. This essay presents background information, performance considerations, and practice recommendations for Harmonielehre (1985), Tromba lontana (1985), Short Ride in a Fast Machine (1986), The Wound-Dresser (1988), On the Transmigration of Souls (2002), My Father Knew Charles Ives (2003), Doctor Atomic Symphony (2007), and City Noir (2009). This document also includes an appendix listing all of the required mutes, as well as the trumpet ranges for each Adams composition. This essay advances the study and awareness of Adams's entire oeuvre and its trumpet parts.
