Burt’s interview with 207 about trumpet videos slated to air June 26
University of Maine trumpet professor Jack Burt shared how he’s staying positive and keeping his skills sharp with News Center’s 207. The interview is slated to air at 7 p.m. Friday, June 26. Almost daily since April 5, Burt has recorded “An Étude a Day Keeps the COVID Away,” which he uploads to his YouTube account. He records standard trumpet études — short musical compositions designed as an exercise to improve technique or demonstrate skill — in one take, with no edits. “These études are things we as players all teach, and work on ourselves, so there is a lot of relatability,” he said in May.
