Taught by renowned trumpet player
Chris Coletti
Using excerpts from the orchestral literature, Chris Coletti demonstrates how to subdivide to play in time and where to tastefully use rubato to play out of time. He also shares why our articulation can make us late.
Subdividing
Chris discusses the art of subdividing in Pines of Rome, Mahler 5, and Petrouchka. He explains how to interpret the often ambiguous tempo markings in Mahler 5, and how style and character can shape how we feel time.
Rubato and Articulation
Rubato is largely a function of taste and style. In this lesson, Chris approaches rubato from three perspectives: Mahler 3, Bitsch 4, and Casta Diva.
