This was a great event -- he is a wonderful player and a helpful, supportive teacher.  Be sure to check his web site:  http://tomhooten.com/

Daniel Wilson (BME, 2009) visited campus this past Friday and gave an excellent presentation on life in grad school, breaking into the playing scene in Dallas, starting a studio in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and his upcoming audition for the United States Air Force Band in Washington, D.C.

I was especially please that he commented that his education at Henderson was a great help to him in grad school in trumpet, piano, theory, and music history.  (Daniel's website)

Craig Ingram (senior, BME) is entering the International Trumpet Guild mock audition contest.  He performed several excerpts for Daniel and received excellent feedback.

I had a blast -- it was great to see to see one of our recent graduates back on campus working with one of our students!

Meanwhile, David Laubach was in Fort Smith with four trumpet majors attending a clinic by Byron Stripling.  The trumpet studio had a great Friday!

Check out this bit from Charles Schleuter.  He was principal trumpet of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for 25 years and an outstanding musician.  There is some great insight and advice about auditions in this article.

This guy is a monster symphonic player!  This is what it should sound like!  Dave Bamonte is Assistant Principle in the Oregon Symphony.

Hello everyone.  I found another interesting trumpet website with all kinds of free stuff to download.  There are concertos, etudes, duets, and mp3's of many of them as well.  Just click on the "My books" button on the navigation bar.  Check it out!
