Susan Slaughter, the first woman in the world to serve as principal trumpet in a major orchestra, will recount experiences from her 40 years with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. She will also talk about her perspective sitting on many audition panels.

Jeff Purtle will show how to apply Claude Gordon's brass teaching that contributed to the successful careers of both Harry Kim and Susan Slaughter. This will be enhanced by live demonstrations, video clips and computer slides.
