Undergraduate Certificate

In Person

The School of Music Certificate in Baroque Trumpet develops performance and interpretation skills for the natural trumpet.

Students examine the stylistic aspects of Baroque music through primary sources from the Baroque era, prominent secondary sources on Baroque interpretation, and music from the Baroque era on the natural trumpet.

The Baroque Trumpet is a valveless ancestor of the modern valved trumpet. It reached its zenith during the Baroque era, and today is once again becoming an important instrument in the fields of music performance, musicology, and music education. Already in many parts of Europe, it is expected that performances of music written prior to the 19th century be played on the valveless natural ("Baroque") trumpet, and this is now a growing field in the United States.
