I’ll be teaching at two brass intensives next summer that I strongly recommend for serious brass players.

Summer Brass Residency – Cape Cod
June 14–20, 2026
An intimate chamber-music intensive with Ithaca Brass. Just 10–20 players. Deep musical focus. Pro recording opportunities. And yes… beach warmups + a clam bake on the coast.
Application deadline: March 15

Rafael Méndez Brass Institute – Denver
July 19–25, 2026
A rigorous, full-immersion week with Summit Brass. Daily masterclasses, chamber coachings, mock auditions, career seminars, and the chance to observe Summit Brass rehearsals up close.

Both programs are tuition-based (financial aid available) and open to serious brass players of all ages — from high school through adult comeback players.

If summer 2026 is your moment to level up, let’s talk. Links in bio.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s recital at Ohio University as part of ITG Trumpet Day.

This program brings together music spanning centuries—from Purcell and Grieg to Gershwin, Barber, and Mompou—alongside arrangements and works that have been especially meaningful to me.

Grateful to share the stage with Dr. Hanna Chung and to conduct the OhioITG Mass Trumpet Ensemble.

4:00 PM — Glidden Recital Hall
Ohio University School of Music

Thanks to everyone involved in making this day possible.
