Shownotes
In this episode, we speak with composer, arranger, and trumpet player Brandon Dicks. Brandon is currently pursuing a doctorate in Trumpet Performance at Arizona State University, but he caught my attention with his impressive videography skills on his Youtube channel.
Brandon arranges just about any type of music for trumpet ensemble—for example, he has arrangements of Vivaldi, Mozart, Super Mario, Zelda, Jurassic Park, etc—and then performs all of the parts separately before editing it all together into the final product.
Especially during these COVID-19 pandemic times, having the skills to make music online is a huge advantage. So we asked him how he got so good at making videos and what tips he had for other people wanting to experiment with making music online. And since he's also a performer and educator, we also talked more generally about life as a performer and different teaching philosophies.
Definitely check out Brandon's links below, and enjoy the episode!
