John Rommel, Part 2: American Classical Trumpet Player and Professor of Trumpet at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music

We continue our discussion about teaching with John talking about the importance of sound and concept along with the importance of singing. I then ask John about the question, should the school be there for the student, or should the student be there for the school (spoiler alert: John sees this as a black and white question!).  We talk about why so few great trumpet players are great musicians, and what the quality is that makes a great trumpet player a great musician.
