The Chosen Vale International Trumpet Seminar is an
annual program held by The Center for Advanced Musical
Studies at the Enfield Shaker Museum in Enfield, New
Hampshire. It is a two-week total immersion in trumpet and
specifically modern repertoire for trumpet. While at the
seminar I attended lectures, classes, and performed Cries
and Whispers by Ned Rorem in a master class for
renowned soloist Stephen Burns. We also participated in
various chamber groups and ensembles and performed
concerts for the Enfield community. The world famous
faculty included: Steven Burns, Edward Carroll, Thomas
Stevens, John Wallace, Mark Gould, Brian McWhorter, and
Gabriele Cassone.
My Enrichment Activity was split into three different
programs. First I traveled to the 2013 International Trumpet
Guild Conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan where I
performed with the University of Louisville Trumpet
Ensemble, attended workshops and master classes, and
networked with other trumpet players. Next I attended the
Chosen Vale International Trumpet Seminar in Enfield, New
Hampshire. The Chosen Vale Seminar is a world-renowned
two-week immersion in modern music literature for trumpet
taught by some of the best trumpet players and composers
in the world. Finally I traveled to the Oberlin Conservatory
of Music and attended the Oberlin Trumpet Workshop,
another well-known program for developing soloistic playing
on the trumpet.

Thomas Hooten, Arturo Sandoval, Allen Vizzutti and
Vincent DiMartino. In addition this, the University of
Louisville Trumpet Ensemble performed at the

Abstract
The students and faculty of the 2013
Chosen Vale International Trumpet Seminar
The Oberlin Trumpet Workshop was a weeklong
program at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music just outside
of Cleveland, Ohio. I spent two weeks in a class of twenty
students studying the method of the late Jimmy Stamp, a
renowned teacher and pedagogue of the trumpet, with Roy
Poper, the professor of trumpet at Oberlin, and Arto
Hoornweg, second trumpet in the Rotterdam Philharmonic
Orchestra. We were instructed on Jimmy Stamp’s
technique and warm-up routine, performed solos in a
European master class setting, participated in several
trumpet ensembles, and took private lessons from Roy
Poper and Arto Hoornweg. The week culminated in a
Concert of a solo that we had performed in a master class
as well as the trumpet ensembles that we had been
rehearsing throughout the week in Oberlin’s beautiful
Warner Concert Hall.
