Baroque Trumpet Certificate

The Graduate Certificate in Baroque Trumpet will complement existing programs in music education, music performance, and musicology. This certificate program is needed because, currently, there is no Baroque trumpet component of any of these programs. Students in these programs study modern instruments. Their applied study is on modern instruments, they are assessed (in the form of a jury) on their modern instruments, and all instruction is on modern instruments. The Baroque trumpet is an entirely different (and arguably much more difficult) instrument. The Baroque trumpet is an 8-foot long instrument with no valves.
