Over the past 2 years, a corner of the trumpet community has been hard at work compiling data and research covering centuries of musical history. A team comprised of diverse backgrounds has come together to compile some of the largest research developments in the modern history of the trumpet. 

-

The goal of this project is to highlight the lineage of trumpet players and how we're all connected through the music and pedagogy no matter the career, genre, style, or location of a trumpeter.
