David Bilger

Fantastic masterclass on trumpet playing! Very informative and insightful.

One of he best tools in my trumpet life thanks

Very detailed to say the least. He really gets into the basics, and covers every part of playing (sound, articulation, flexibility, range, etc.) that you'd need to work on to step up the level of your playing, and caters to a pretty wide range of skill levels at once. I'd say most helpful parts to me were the material on sound production. You really can't go wrong with this purchase. I still use it almost 2 years later.

This fine warm up method by trumpet maestro David Bilger will have you playing with more ease, clarity and focus in no time! Built upon solid fundamentals, David will help you master sound production and fundamental technique. I'm more of a classically trained commercial lead trumpet player including a year on lead trumpet with Buddy Rich and six years on the road as Frank Sinatra's lead trumpet player and since i now am playing more Broadway shows and have a varied stylistic repertoire, David's routine helps me be ready to play anything easier than before with a beautiful. clear and full sound! I highly recommend it to all trumpet players regardless of style! Just hearing his sound and emulating it will do wonders for the beginning, intermediate and even many advanced players! I like what it did for me!

One of the most interesting master classes I found on Play With A Pro. A must not only for trumpet players.

David Bilger's Play with a Pro video Warm-up Program and Trumpet Fundamentals is superbly done. David's personality quickly puts the viewer at ease. His explanations are clear and thorough, and his is warm-up program and presentation of trumpet fundamentals is logical and effective. Highly recommended!

David Bilger is one of America's finest trumpet players. His well-articulated and methodical approach to playing the trumpet makes these videos a great resource for teachers and students alike. The quality of the video and audio is incredibly high, and Bilger's information is worth far more than the price of the video. You won't be disappointed!

Great Information and instruction for a good practice even if I don't know the expertise of this trumpet player in real concert.

A fantastically detailed yet accessible insight into the day to day workings and routines of one of the most respected principal trumpets in the US. I have taken many of the ideas (especially his power routine) into my own playing and have seen great benefits. Bravo!

Excellent master class! This gentleman breaks down each concept into a manner that is easy to understand and follow. He has a great understanding of the instrument and conveys that through his authoritative instruction in trumpet pedagogy. Great job! Additionally, I would mind special attention to the video regarding tone. That is essential knowledge that should not be forgone and should be incorporated into any and all practice sessions! Great playing!

It is sometimes hard or overwhelming to address every area of trumpet playing in one day. Bilger shows presents a wonderful strategy for addressing every aspect of the trumpet at least some every day, and provides great insight on how to practice and develop technique.
