About the Editor: Dr. Brian Shook received his Bachelor of Music degree from Cedarville University where he studied trumpet with Charles Pagnard. He continued his studies in music as a trumpet teaching assistant with David Hickman (Regent’s Professor) at Arizona State University, completing a Master of Music degree in 2003 and a Doctorate of Musical Arts in 2006. In addition to his private studies with Hickman, Shook has studied with Andrew Balio (Baltimore Symphony), Patrick Sheridan (world-class tuba soloist), and Emery Harvison (Phoenix Symphony). While in Phoenix, he performed with the Phoenix Symphony, New Mexico Symphony, Phoenix Bach Choir, Symphony of the West Valley, and the Salt River Brass Band (soprano cornet).

Shook’s DMA research led him to write a biography of New York Philharmonic trumpet legend, William Vacchiano. He has subsequently published various articles regarding Mr. Vacchiano’s career in the International Trumpet Guild Journal, the New York Times, the London Times and the New York Sun. He presented a lecture at the 2006 ITG Conference at Rowan University (NJ) on the life and pedagogical contributions of Mr. Vacchiano. These materials are currently being combined into a full biography to be published in 2009.

For the past four years, Shook has toured the United States with The King’s Brass, which gives over 120 concerts each year. In addition to performing, Shook is involved in numerous aspects of the International Trumpet Guild as a reviewer of CDs, music, and books for the ITG Journal. He is currently an adjunct professor at Towson University in Baltimore, MD.
