 The International Trumpet Guild is a non-profit organization founded in 1974 to promote communications among trumpet players around the world and to improve the artistic level of performance, teaching, and literature associated with the trumpet.ITG's more than 5,000 members represent 56 countries and include professional and amateur performers, teachers, students, manufacturers, publishers, and others interested in belonging to an organization dedicated to the trumpet profession. ITG is supported by the dues of individual members.
The ITG is an organization made up of trumpet enthusiasts in every genre and at every level of proficiency. Our mission is to promote communication among trumpeters and improve the artistic level of every aspect of the instrument, including, but not limited to, performance, teaching, literature, research, and instrument design. We publish the only journal dedicated solely to the trumpet, co-sponsor and administer both an international solo trumpet competition and an international jazz trumpet competition, sponsor an annual trumpet conference, hold annual competitions for players from junior high through college, commission new trumpet music, and provide many other services from maintaining a news column to offering free CDs and music downloads to our members. Though the site you are viewing has a lot of great information, by joining ITG and entering the “ITG Member Site”, you will find an incredible wealth of articles, downloadable music, Smartmusic files, miscellaneous items of many kinds, and, of course, a downloadable collection of the ITG Journal, including the latest issue. We hope you will visit us often, and offer our very best wishes, Kim Dunnick, President |

Email Problems Resolved. ITG has become aware that many of the emails sent to addresses ending in .trumpetguild.org during the last several weeks were not being delivered to the recipient. The problem has now been resolved. If you have sent an email to an address ending in trumpetguild.org and not received a response, please send the email again. It is our intention to respond to all emails in a timely manner. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks to editor and publisher Robert Weast, ITG has been granted reproduction rights to the complete run of The Brass World, a publication that ran for nine years between 1965 and 1974, terminating publication just before ITG began publishing its own newsletters and journals. ITG is in the process of scanning these rich and informative publications into user-friendly PDF files, and the first three years (minus a few missing components we're still seeking) have been posted and are ready for download! You'll find them in the Content area of the ITG Member Web Site.
Make your plans to attend the 2012 International Trumpet Guild Conference The International Trumpet Guild has recently begun offerring some exciting membership options. Effective with the 2011-12 membership year, ITG will offer electronic memberships. Electronic members will receive an email when the latest pdf file of the ITG Journal is available for download from the new, members’ only portion of the ITG web site. You can get the latest news faster and in color with a download. Electronic members will receive the annual member premium CD through the mail. Despite successes in controling costs in many areas, increased printing, postage and various costs as well as the desire to increase ITG’s support of chapters, competitions and scholarships, have necessitated an increase in the rate for some ITG memberships. The new rates have been announced on the web site and on the renewal notices mailed with the June ITG Journal. Below are the rates in US dollars.
If you have any questions, my email is treasurer@trumpetguild.org. Membership coordinator, Rachel Devol, can be reached at membership@trumpetguild.org. ITG’s US phone is 563-676-2435, and US fax is 413-403-8899. Thank you for your continued support of the International Trumpet Guild. Dixie Burress ITG Board and Officers Election Results
