Release Date:

My guest for this episode is William Leathers.
William is a trendsetter. A recent graduate of the famed Julliard School of music, William is already setting the trumpet world on fire. As the newly appointed principal trumpet for both the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and the Santa Fe Opera, William brings a combination of old-world style and modern-day swagger to the classical music scene.
Check out what William has to say about being unique, pulling together varied musical influences, the blessing and curse of having perfect pitch, how his perfect pitch manifests itself, developing skills, structure and mindset, the importance of preparation, designing his Vennture Mouthpiece Signature line, how to successfully prepare for an audition, and so much more!
So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
