comeback and exceed the playing level you had before you quit playing the trumpet. Whatever
your level, whatever your style of playing, we can help you get to a place in your playing that you
could only dream of and have fun doing it! We will work hard, but will have a lot of fun in the process
and you will get tools and foundational information on playing that you can carry with you forever.

individualized help and training that you need to get your skills in better shape than you ever
thought you could!

The founder and instructor, Michael I. Goode, has played Assistant Principal and Section Trumpet
with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as a member of the Ravinia Festival Orchestra,
located at Ravinia, the summer home of the Chicago Symphony. With this orchestra, Mr. Goode also has
backed soloists from the Metropolitan Opera of New York. In addition, he has played in numerous professional
orchestras across the country among famous conductors like Erich Kunzel, David Alan Miller, and Leonard Slatkin.
He has served as Principal Trumpet of the Brentwood-Westwood Symphony Orchestra, a professional
symphony here in Los Angeles. Mr. Goode was recently accepted to teach at Gustavo Dudamel's Youth Orchestra
of Los Angeles program as a fill-in teacher in Maestro Dudamel's El Sistema program in LA.
He currently also has teaching studios in Marina del Rey and El Segundo, CA.
A former Comeback player himself, Mr. Goode years ago went from buzzing his mouthpiece 30 seconds a day
to playing professionally with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the highest artistic levels.
He has been fortunate to have as his teachers, the legendary Adolph "Bud" Herseth, and Arnold Jacobs,
with whom he studied simultaneously since 1994. Mr. Goode is also a world-renowned expert on the topic of
stage fright and the nervous system and mental performance issues related to playing music and has written
a book on the subject. For more information on Mr. Goode, see www.trumpetworkspress.com.

All teaching will be based on all the things Mr. Goode has have learned from studying with Adolph Herseth and Mr.
Jacobs for many years and from his professional experiences playing with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
in the Ravinia Festival Orchestra and elsewhere. In addition, as someone has already suggested, he will be talking about
stage fright and mental performance issues which he does for a living in addition to the trumpet based on his work
in graduate school at the University of Chicago. Michael wants to give all the Comebackers tools that they can take with them
so they have a solid foundation in their playing in the same way that he has have been so fortunate to learn from his teachers.

The hours of the camp, group lessons and seminars will be 10 am-noon, 2-4 pm, noon-2 pm is lunch.

The days will each have interactive group lessons on every topic (the final order may be slightly different):

We will cover the following topics (the list is not exhaustive I may add more):
