Murray State University Trumpet Workshop

		Begun in 1989, The Murray State Trumpet Workshop is designed to provide an intensive experience for serious trumpeters of middle and high school age. Participants will benefit from the expertise of Eric Swisher, Professor of Trumpet at Murray State University and a nationally recognized artist. Workshop activities will participate in master classes, lecture-demonstrations, individual coaching, warm-up sessions, group lessons, listening and question-answer sessions. Participants will attend a private opening recital by Dr. Swisher. They will also have opportunities for individual and group coaching. The workshop will culminate in a recital by the participants. The goal of the workshop is to give the students the means to sustain musical growth well beyond their time on the MSU campus.

	Accommodations

		Participants will be housed in the Murray State residential halls. All rooms are double occupancy and participants are asked to provide their own linens. Meals will be served in a nearby campus cafeteria.

	Supervision

		Residence halls are supervised by trained university counselors. It is the policy that workshop participants may not leave the Murray State campus unless they are part of an organized program activity. Participants will by under 24-hour supervision and will be expected to follow the Summer Youth Programs rules of behavior, which will be mailed in late spring. The use of personal automobiles will not be permitted during the workshop.

	Insurance

		The Trumpet Workshop is covered by a group accident insurance policy. A medical release form signed by a parent must be submitted at check-in. Allergies and other medical conditions should be submitted on the form.
