On Friday 11th May, brass players at Bromsgrove School were treated to a masterclass by professional trumpeter, James Thompson.

James was finishing three months of workshops around Europe before returning home to America where he is a Professor of trumpet at the prestigious Eastman School of Music. He came to this position after having played Principal Trumpet in the Atlanta and Montreal Symphony Orchestras.

James McKelvey, Director of Music said “James worked with the Brass Group and four trumpeters; each of them worked hard to develop the new suggestions he’d made. We are indebted to James for his time and energy”.
