New participants are asked to submit a private YouTube link of their playing a sample of something showcasing their love for trumpet/music.

The APEX Trumpet Symposium packs years of expertise from master trumpeters into a weeklong program in an idyllic setting. Learn from legendary players in master classes, work through the building blocks with warmup/fundamentals sessions, and develop as a player in student-led warmup sessions. Relax after a hard day of practice by the pool or hot tub with newfound friends and colleagues. Exchange ideas during partnered practice sessions. Acquire new approaches through private lesson mentorship. Test the limits in non-traditional, participation-based masterclasses with legendary players. Whether a college student cutting their teeth, grad student aiming for consistency and polish, a busy professional out gigging, or a "comeback" player who just can’t put down the horn, there is something for every trumpeter in this Symposium. And most of all, take your place within one of the most positive and supportive communities for musical growth anywhere on the planet. Consider APEX and start planning your FUTURE STRENGTHS.
