Modern Orchestration Masterclass - The Trumpet / July 20th

Single live workshop

Taught by: Helen Noir

• Understand the range and standard articulations for the trumpet
• Begin to write playable and idiomatic music for the trumpet, whether for an IRL musician or a VST
• Create realistic trumpet lines using VSTS, with understanding of range, articulations, dynamics, expression, and modulation
• Communicate as a composer with a trumpet player (by understanding what can reasonably be asked of the instrument and what experimental techniques might be possible)
• Begin to understand the differences in trumpet sound for a range of styles of music for trumpet (orchestral, jazz, soul) and apply this knowledge to programming trumpet VSTs
