Many consider Max Schlossberg to be the father of American trumpet playing, as opposedi to the American cornet-based tradition that prevailed during the early to mid-20th century. Thomas Stevens has had a career long fascination with Schlossberg’s actual teaching practices m pedagogical principles, and in this videotape of his 2016 workshop at Chosen Vale, he presents some of the information gleaned from his trumpet lessons and personal encounters over the years with some of Schlossberg’s most successful and well known students, all of whom had become distinguished teacher/performers in their own rights following their student years with Professor Schlossberg. © 2017 Gossamer Wings Music
