T5 Level-Up
Fall Semester 2023
Sept-Dec
A Unique Learning Experience For A Limited Number Of Trumpet Players Who Want To Take Their Playing To The Next Level
What does it take to make a living as a performing musician? The most valuable skill is the ability to teach yourself new concepts and fix problems. You MUST strive to continually improve – it’s what successful musicians DO.
Training Trumpeters to Teach Themselves™ (T5) will show you how.
In September 2023, I will be leading Level-up (formerly called Mastercourse): an online semester for a small and select group of trumpet players 18 and older who want to up their game and take their playing to the next level.
Here’s the plan:
- Lessons and studio classes start mid-September.
- 10 lessons
- Practice Window Training Sessions – What’s a Practice Window Training Session?
- 8 studio classes
- Unlimited email support
- Practice Partner assignments
- Trumpet Chats with other pros
- Extensive video tutorials on topics ranging from range to technique, to practice and performing excerpts, solos, and etudes.
- Unlimited GUIDED access to the Sound Truth Library™ and Symphony Stage™ audio/videos – hours of 4k video and 32 bit audio recorded in my studio to best capture the true sound that we make on stage in Symphony Hall.

“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.“

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.“
“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.“
“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.“
