quotes on the torbjörn hultmark trumpet method

raymond mase, chair of brass, the juilliard school, new york, USA
lots of well organised material for all playing levels...
a really nice overview of all aspects of trumpet playing"

mark david, head of brass, royal academy of music, london, UK
"a valuable and refreshing take on familiar and not so familiar concepts.
highly recommended!"

philippe schartz, principal trumpet, BBC national orchestra of wales
"really precise and to the point exercises that cover
the whole range of playing required these days”

rex richardson, international trumpet soloist
"torbjörn hultmark's trumpet method is ingenious.
at once succinct and remarkably comprehensive, he addresses
every imaginable element of trumpet playing, from fundamentals through to
extended techniques such as circular breathing
and multiphonics.
brilliant!"

soprano trombone solo with the london sinfonietta

4th november 2020
9pm, kings place, london
matthew herbert's more, more more 
for soprano trombone, percussion and live electronics
torbjörn hultmark, oliver lowe and matthew herbert

"two musicians follow a secret list of performance instructions.
each selects different pieces from piles of rubbish at their feet,
and uses them to create sounds which are sampled live and replayed
through electronics. layer upon layer of the sampled sound is mixed with
their live performance on instruments.
the result:
an immersive and ultimately overwhelming soundscape
which confronts the audience with the uncomfortable
truth about our disposable culture."
