Since February 2016 when | started to work for the academy he did his Bachelore studies in my class and just successfully passed his final exams. From the first moment of our trumpet lessons Mr. Chen deeply impressed me with his enormous talent for playing the ‘trumpet. His technique and musicality were on a very high level and he always gave me the impression of a huge diamond ready to be polished here and there. He has a wide repertoire and is interested in al the aspects of musicality, for example, he has excellent listening skill, plays the piano very well and writes own compositions. He is never taking the easiest way, but seeks the challenge and is motivated to play highly demanding programs. n the short period of three semesters we worked together on a big variety of pieces, such as Hayan-, Tomasi, Peskin-, Boehme- Concerto, Henze-Sonatina, Francaix Sonata, ete, in his thi year-exam he even played the Torelli Sinfonia G.1 on Baroque Trumpet in 0440. | always had the impression of Mr. Chen as a warm-hearted person fullof love and passion about music and trumpet- playing, who is willing to work hard for his dream of becoming a professional musician, That's why | am sure that it will be @ feat pleasure for any trumpet teacher to work with him and watch him improve his sil.
