ADAM RAPA’S FASCINATING TWO PART VIDEO INTERVIEW AND NEW REALTIME, ONLINE VIDEO LESSONS!

Adam Rapa is well known to players who visit our website. His virtuoso video clips with a sound and technique so reminiscent of Doc Severinsen are dazzling to say the least. The first three clips have had almost 200,000 total views on YouTube to date!

A few months ago when Adam visited the shop we asked him to sit for a video interview for our website. During this interview he told us about a new system of giving long distance trumpet lessons via real-time internet video feed. When Dave Monette heard about this he immediately set up an internet “lesson” from home the next evening… this was not to be missed!

Dave got on his computer at home the next evening, signed up for SKYPE, and within a short time he had Adam online and they were in a realtime video conference - Adam at home in Seattle and Dave at home an hour east of Portland up in the woods near Mt. Hood!

Adam calls his service “iBrass,” and it is remarkably effective. Dave Monette’s first, second and third suggestion to every young trumpet student has always been; “Get a one-time lesson with a world-class player you really admire as soon as possible!” With Adam’s new “iBrass” you can do this anytime, anyplace.

We hope you enjoy Adam’s fascinating two-part video interview, and the sample "iBrass" lesson clip we have posted on this page.

Adam was recently a featured performer at the 2008 ITG conference in Banff, Canada, where he wowed the audience during several performances. Below are links to his three-part video series featuring highlights from his concerts. They total 30 minutes, and it's well worth watching though the finale.
