Are the effects of stress helping or hindering your ability to convey your musical ideas? Have you ever wondered why some performances seem to go better than others? Well-known trumpet player and performance psychologist William M. Williams, Jr. will be visiting Portland State University April 28-30 to present three performance skills workshops/masterclasses, as well as a trumpet recital at PSU's recital hall.

The Instrumental Music Alliance at Portland State University is a student-funded, student-run club that organizes and hosts guest musicians and masterclasses in order to bring music to our community. We would like to invite you, your students, and anyone interested, to attend these performance skills workshops at Portland State University.

The workshops are set up as follows: (all events in room 75 of Lincoln Hall)

- - - Monday, April 28:

- - - 11:00am-1:00pm General Masterclass for all students and types of instrumentalists. The workshop will focus on performance anxiety, and how to improve performance in recitals, concerts, or auditions. Students that attend this masterclass are also encouraged to attend either the Tuesday or Wednesday masterclass as well.

- - - Tuesday, April 29:

- - - 12:00pm Trumpet Recital by Mr. Williams

- - - 4:00pm-6:00pm This masterclass will be targeted more to brass players. A Few students will be performing pieces and working with Mr. Williams to incorporate new techniques in their performance. This will be an interactive workshop, as both the performers and observers will be encouraged to contribute observations and ask questions.

- - - Wednesday, April 30:

- - - 11:00am-1:00pm This masterclass is for all non-brass players, but will cover the similar information as Tuesday's session.
