The Foundations of Modern American Trumpet Pedagogy Public Deposited
- Abstract
The physical and musical demands of the trumpet are complex and three-
dimensional, providing many angles from which the student can approach the
instrument. Thus, the concepts behind teaching the trumpet, as with any
instrument, depend on the student, the teacher, and the time period. This
variability persists despite the modern instrument’s invariable nature. That is not
to say that any particular pedagogical approach is incorrect. Many perspectives
have been explored by the various pedagogical “schools” that have lain the
groundwork for modern instruction.
Contemporary pedagogy has pulled from many of the older approaches, and
modern instruction has reached a level of standardization through a blending of
these older concepts. However, there is still variability within methodology, either
in content or balance of fundamental principles. The responsibility of the student
and the teacher is to ascertain which aspects of these pedagogical schools have the
potential to guide the student to success. However, without a knowledge of the
evolution and inconsistencies between pedagogical approaches, students are left
without a full understanding of the methodologies that they are attempting to
evaluate. Within this study, I strive to detail the six core pedagogical schools that
have shaped modern trumpet pedagogy, as well as study the pedagogues who
further developed the concepts within those schools. By doing so, we can provide
students, young and old, with a better understanding of the origins of pedagogical
concepts still being used today.
