Giuffredi (centre) and masterclass participants

L-R: Wang Hong Jian, student, Andrea Giuffredi

On September 21st and 23rd the virtuoso soloist, Italian trumpeter Andrea Giuffredi held two great days of masterclasses at Beijing’s Central Conservatory of Music.

The conservatory’s many trumpet students as well as leading players from the Beijing Symphony Orchestra were able to share two days of teaching and practical demonstrations from Mr Giuffredi.

Mr. Giuffredi presented all aspects of trumpet playing, from classical concertos to orchestral studies, giving important advice about the physical and technical development of trumpet playing. He tirelessly listened to and corrected the Chinese students, who remained enthusiastic and very impressed with his way of playing. He gave examples from nearly all the trumpet repertoire, playing in an indefatigable way with a power of sound and skill in the high notes that was a revelation to his delighted students.

All of this happened in a very pleasant atmosphere and, given the great success of this visit, our aim is to see Andrea Giuffredi again very soon in Beijing!
