• Fundamentals

• Orchestral style

• Solo preparation and study

Daily classes will include:

• Master classes

• Section coaching

• Mock auditions

“For any student who is serious about orchestral training, Becker’s Low Brass Boot Camp is a great opportunity. His extensive knowledge of auditions and experience as a performer would be a great asset to any student and young professional.”

• Jay Friedman, Principal Trombone, Chicago Symphony Orchestra

“This is a great opportunity to deal with the specifics of the audition environment. Many fine musicians fail to excel in this most artificial performance setting. It is a unique challenge and warrants a specialized workshop such as Michael Becker’s Low Brass Boot Camp. I would recommend it highly.”

-Michael Mulcahy, Second Trombone, Chicago Symphony Orchestra
