Online Trombone Seminar with ​George Curran 

July 8-10, 2020

For the price of a private lesson, you can sign up for a three-day online trombone workshop with George Curran and guests. The bass trombonist of the New York Philharmonic will be performing in the beautiful recital hall on the campus of Central Michigan University.

​At OTS, you can perform on live masterclasses, join trombone warm-up and fundamentals classes, and get lessons with Mr. Curran. There are two trombone hangouts with the participants, auditors, and some very special guest artists, culminating in a solo recital by George Curran.

GUEST ARTISTS

In OTS classes, we will break down the fundamentals of trombone playing, explain how to succeed with playing excerpts and solos, give you secrets to making recordings and overdubbing, help you to play well under pressure, and talk about how to teach yourself to be the best musician you can be. ​​
