During the last twenty-five years, Roger has become increasingly involved
in jazz education, teaching many students who have gone on to become successful
performers throughout the music industry. Ingram is credited as a
private instructor and clinician at schools and universities around the
world.
Roger will be happy to come to your university, high school, music store, or other venue to present a brass clinic or a masterclass. Because of educational support for clinics from Jupiter Band Instruments, Inc., the cost for these events is quite affordable. The fee for a 2 hour clinic/masterclass is very reasonable. For an additional fee, Roger will join your jazz ensemble at a concert as a guest soloist. Roger has a wide selection of trumpet features of varying difficulty for high school and college jazz ensembles. Once a clinic and performance has been arranged, the chart(s) will be sent on PDF for the purpose of rehearsal prior to Roger's appearance.
At his clinics, in addition to offering a few points of friendly advice, Roger is available to discuss many many categories including
trumpet fundamentals
breathing
aperture control
trouble shooting
choosing the right equipment for the job
mutes and their usage
ensemble playing
the role of a lead player (including lead trombone, lead alto)
musicality
differences in jazz style
jazz pedagogy
modern jazz history
While students or the school or music store are welcome to record the clinic for their personal use (or the use of their students) this recording is ONLY for personal use; Roger does NOT give permission for this material to be posted on youtube or elsewhere online.
