Pioneer Valley Trumpet Guild

The PVTG is run by members of the UMass Trumpet studio to connect with the community through music!

As a Registered Student Organization, we strive to foster music education through trumpet performance, to provide a welcoming environment which encourages musical growth and development, and to secure financial, logistical, and promotional support from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. This guild includes all current members of the UMass Amherst trumpet studio, working towards a common musical goal through outreach, service, performance, and financial support.

ITG 2026!! We had so much fun in Rochester, New York last week at the Eastman School of Music for the 50th Anniversary Conference! We got to attend amazing masterclasses, warm-up sessions, clinics, and workshops, check out all of the exhibits, and watch incredible concerts! Four of our studio members were also recognized at the Scholarship Breakfast at the end of the week for being awarded Conference Scholarships! In addition, Dr. Felix performed as a part of an Eastman alumni ensemble to honor Dr. James Thompson before his Warm-Up Class! Here is a recap from our trip - we can’t wait for next year’s conference in Kentucky!

P.S. Shoutout to .chene for winning a Pickett mouthpiece at the social!!! 🎺🎺

For our final studio class of the semester, we enjoyed a wonderful lecture from on how we should be practicing based on brain research!

Over the course of the spring semester, studio members read Gebrian’s book, Learn Faster, Perform Better. Having Gebrian come in to talk to us was really a full circle moment!!
