Classic Style - Trumpet

Classic Style is a selection of favorites from the orchestral, operatic, and solo repertoire. This presents a challenge for better endurance, greater range, and more refinement. Hence, trumpeters will be further equipped to assume a soloist's mindset.  While transposing is encouraged, and inspired performing is expected, boring playing is forbidden!
