In this episode of Trumpet Dynamics, host James D. Newcomb welcomes Jason Bergman, the newest trumpet faculty member at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music.

Jason shares his teaching journey, previous roles at Brigham Young University, University of North Texas, and University of Southern Mississippi, and emphasizes the importance of focusing on students' unique goals and promoting a culture of wholeheartedness in teaching.

The discussion delves into the concepts of shame, vulnerability, and self-care, inspired by Brene Brown's research, and how these concepts can transform both teaching and performance.
