Today, we have an interview with David Krauss, a student of Wynton Marsalis and currently the principal trumpet of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, who also maintains his intense pedagogical works as a professor in the Juilliard School Pre-College Division, Rutgers University, Mannes School of Music, Manhattan School of Music, Boston University Tanglewood Institute, Berkshire Summer Music… He is every bit of an international figure in the trumpet world and was willing to share his knowledge with Trumpet Magazine… and an exercise in PDF for members!
Today’s guest is probably today the best example of a self-taught musician who has reached the top. He dazzled as a member of the show Blast! In 2001, and since then, this versatile trumpeter has performed at festivals and schools around the world. His extensive interview is a bucket full of wise and interesting tips that you should not miss.
Our guest today has become one of the most important names in the international jazz scene and a trumpeter and composer featured on several Grammy Award-winning albums. We are very fortunate to have him with us in Trumpet Magazine. Do not miss his words of wisdom.
