The USC trumpet studio provides its students with excellent training and the necessary expertise which are fundamental for a successful career in music. Our graduates have gone on to pursue graduate degrees at well-known Universities and Conservatories, careers in music education, freelancers in various cities around the world and members of symphony orchestras.

The School of Music boasts facilities that are numerous and give ample rehearsal space for ensembles, individual practice and study preparation. The concert and recital halls are particularly stunning and the music library is also very impressive!  A new recital is presently (2012) being built for future use.
