T5 has five pillars:
Staying Balanced – Find your median and stay on it
Beyond the Chops: Integrated Mechanics for the Trumpet™
Sound Truth Library™/Symphony Stage™
Practice Window Training™
Community Counts
Practice Window Training™
Practice Windows are 5-minute videos recorded during a practice session. The idea is to capture a short clip of how you actually practice – it is not a performance. Practice Window Training™ is a 20-minute lesson, watching the Practice Window together, to create a more efficient, productive, and satisfying practice experience.
T5
Everything is connected
Ben Wright started T5 on the belief that everyone can benefit from a smarter, more holistic approach to music training. Developing independent thinking, physical efficiency, problem solving, and a greater sense of confidence playing the trumpet are the basis for everything T5 does.
Work With Me
to develop independent thinking, physical efficiency, problem-solving, and a greater sense of confidence playing the trumpet, get started with one of the plans.

The march from Shostakovich 5th Symphony
Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony has always been a favorite of mine to play - but, here’s the question? Have you heard his 4th Symphony? Check out the BSO’s recent recording of it to hear some crazy stuff! It never shows up on auditions and is rarely played, but it is big,...
Principal trumpet excerpts from Alpine Symphony – Peak Efficiency Needed
Alpine Symphony - a need for peak efficiency - pun not intended! In high school and then college, my friends and I were constantly trying to bang out the high Ds in Alpine Symphony with varying degrees of success (and bruising of the chops)! I was shocked when I...
Carmen Prelude for Trumpet and LOW notes!
LOW NOTES! It’s been a huge part of my professional life since leaving school in the late 90s. Having held two 4th trumpet jobs and two second trumpet jobs, I have always been comfortable below the staff and continue to be so. In every audition, you’ll have to show...

Testimonials
“Ben’s teaching made me see the importance of playing longer lines and being more organized. Hearing him in person and in the orchestra was always inspiring. My playing wouldn’t be where it is today if I hadn’t studied with him.“
“Studying with Ben was one of the best things that happened to me for my trumpet playing… Hearing Ben, not only in lessons, but on stage with the BSO every week, was enormously beneficial for my later success. I wouldn’t be where I am today without my time studying with him.“
“Ben’s approach of singing to save chop time and focus on the music was really beneficial to me. His focus on being mentally and physically balanced was one of the keys to my success in winning auditions. Years after I studied with Ben, he was a pillar of support when I needed his it most – his advice helped me bounce back from a challenging time in my career and move forward.“
“Ben has been an incredible mentor and teacher for me, and I can’t thank him enough for all the invaluable lessons he has given me in music and beyond…. The perspective he provided was just the right push at just the right time to allow me to be happy and successful here and now.“
