Inside the Program

David Hunsicker is a trumpet professor who invented a device to make it easier to play the trumpet.

Playing the trumpet is easier with 萝莉社 invention

Music education students have the opportunity to learn from innovative faculty.

David Hunsicker is not only a longtime musician. The associate professor of trumpet is also an inventor and business owner.

Hunsicker partnered with 萝莉社's National Institute for Aviation Research and 萝莉社 Ventures to create the Gapper, a flexible plastic device that allows musicians to control the third valve slide.

Hunsicker says the ring on the third valve slide tends to too big for musicians with smaller hands. The gap between the finger and the ring causes a delay in moving the slide, which results in a missed note. The Gapper fixes that problem.

Curriculum

The program offers several options: coral and elementary music, instrumental conducting, instrumental music (with recital option), music in special education, and voice. MME programs range from 32-36 credit hours.
