Brass

Welcome to Lynn’s brass department. We have thoughtfully crafted our brass curriculum to provide the tools necessary to succeed as a brass player in today’s challenging music world. What sets Lynn apart from other performance-driven institutions is our intimate studio size. All students enrolled at Lynn begin playing in our ensembles from the day they arrive. Whether you are a freshman or graduate student, you will fully participate in all of our ensembles. These ensembles include orchestra, wind ensemble, brass orchestral repertoire class, brass ensemble and chamber music. Individual performance opportunities include mock auditions, juries and a weekly performance forum where the entire conservatory comes together to perform for each other in the presence of the faculty. Whether you are just beginning your journey and are looking to build a strong musical and technical foundation or are looking for the final steps toward winning an audition, Lynn is an extraordinary place to be. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

	Marc Reese, Brass Department Head Artist Faculty - Trumpet My objective as a teacher is to train confident, flexible trumpeters that are ready to pursue a life in music. I educate students to think conceptually, encouraging a consistent approach to air, sound, efficiency and music making that can be applied to all music they encounter.
	Gregory Miller, Artist-in-Residence - French horn What sets the Lynn University horn studio apart from our peer institutions are the guaranteed playing opportunities afforded by having no more than six students within the studio in any given year. This also allows us the opportunity to be highly selective in the audition process. Regular rotation within all the ensembles provides all students with an enriched and fulfilling musical experience.
	Dan Satterwhite, Artist Faculty - Trombone At Lynn, we are training our students to become performers. Just like learning a language, the best way to become fluent in the language of music is to get out there and speak it—by performing. We strive at Lynn to offer many varied performance opportunities to our students in a challenging and supportive environment, so that they are prepared to enter the 21st century music business.
	Kenneth Amis, Artist-in-Residence - Tuba I demand an intense and well-rounded playing schedule of all my tuba students. This is the best means of testing and strengthening the concepts and skills that are introduced and developed in private lessons. The curriculum and compact size of the tuba studio at Lynn University are specifically designed for this approach, offering the serious tuba player constant opportunities for improvement, experimentation and discovery.
