Gary Malvern

Gary Malvern has traveled throughout the world as a soloist and section member, performing with such ensembles as the National Repertory Orchestra (principal trumpet) and the American Wind Symphony. Whether traveling to Australia for an artist-in-residence program or performing for the Spoleto Festival or the International Trumpet Guild Conference, Dr. Malvern performs with a high level of skill and musicality. These experiences have enabled him to offer his students a larger musical perspective, and to empower them to do their best work. Students in his trumpet studio focus on a wide range of fundamental exercises as well as sight reading, etudes, solo literature and orchestral excepts.

In addition to his responsibilities with private instruction and brass ensembles, Dr. Malvern has an active interest in classroom teaching, and enjoys working with students in a variety of history and theory classes. He believes strongly in the Liberal Arts approach to music education: that every class a student takes--be it in the music curriculum or not--nourishes and enhances one's own musical specialty. Alongside of academic life at Furman, Dr. Malvern leads a rich and varied professional life, which includes performing as principal trumpet of the Greenville Symphony, playing with the Aurora Brass Quintet, and appearing as a regional clinician and soloist.
