Find out what "Primal Grip ™, Bottom Lip, Blow from the tip" really means. "Brian gave an outstanding presentation on many important aspects of trumpet playing that was full of great advice, practical application, and a lot of fun. His incredible grasp of the horn—not to mention his stellar playing—was very impressive. Along with demonstrating his astonishing high range, he covered the basics of air and breath support in a way that was easily understood by all. Brian is a warm and friendly professional who has a clear passion for the trumpet. After the clinic he was surrounded by eager students with questions and advice that he freely and expertly gave. I give Brian my highest recommendation for an appearance—your students will come away much richer." John Irish - Associate Professor of Music at Angelo State University, San Angelo, Texas

"Gary Radtke is a brilliant, articulate and interesting person. He is a musician and technician, designer of machinery and a trumpeter with an extremely broad knowledge base. His lectures are informative, interesting and humorous as well as captivating. He really personifies his motto ‘we do the math, you make the music”.
Ronald Romm and Michael Ewald
With his subtle humor and low-key delivery, Gary makes the incomprehensible seem simple (well...kind of simple.)"
