About the ATA 2017
Midst the beautiful virgin rain forests of the Gold Coast hinterland, ATA 2017 participants will enjoy mentoring from world class trumpet artists in an exclusive and intensive course catering to excellence in solo music, orchestral music, chamber music, historical or period instrument performance and more.
In 2017 the Australasian Trumpet Academy is proud to welcome acclaimed International trumpet soloists Paul Beniston (UK) Gabriel DiMartino (USA) and Dr Jason Dovel (USA).
This is a rare chance for aspiring trumpeters to spend a week under the personal instruction from some of the world’s greatest trumpet artists.

Participants are encouraged to prepare solo repertoire, (drawing from baroque, classical, romantic, 20th century and contemporary literature for trumpet) for performance during daily master classes.
Orchestral Trumpet Repertoire
ATA participants will be expertly guided through orchestral and audition repertoire during the academy, and will provided with the opportunity to take part in a ‘mock audition’.
Trumpet Ensembles
All participants will have the opportunity to take part in the ATA Ensemble. Ensembles varying in size will also be formed to allow for the greatest diversity in repertoire. These ensembles will also take part in the ATA Gala Concert.
