Andrew Classen became the inaugural holder of the Fred and Patty Turner Professorship in Jazz, thanks to a $1 million gift from Drake alumnus Fred Turner. Mr. Turner noted, \u201cI am delighted to have the opportunity to support the future generations of musicians who will keep this art form alive. Creating a jazz professorship at my alma mater is a perfect fit. This is my own way of making sure the music plays on.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=“\u00dcBER SEINE „Wien„ heavy<\/strong> C-TROMPETE“][vc_column_text]I received my Schagerl Heavy Rotary C in the middle of rehearsals for Beethoven\u2019s 9th Symphony. I was locked into the horn in the first hour. It has a warm and beautiful sound. Intonation is excellent. It make playing the Germanic repertoire way easier and more fun (let\u2019s face it, V-I gets a bit boring at times). If you want the best rotary trumpet on the market, get a Schagerl.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1\/3″ css=“.vc_custom_1518525453139{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}“][vc_single_image source=“featured_image“ img_size=“large“ alignment=“center“ onclick=“img_link_large“ el_class=“vclightbox“][vc_custom_heading text=“ANDREW CLASSEN“ font_container=“tag:h3|text_align:left“ use_theme_fonts=“yes“ heading_line=“0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
