Consumer Preference Of Semi-Professional Trumpet Players, Mario Yuuji Harper Dec 2012

Consumer Preference Of Semi-Professional Trumpet Players, Mario Yuuji Harper

Mario Yuuji Harper

This project has taken data on the performance and price of trumpet players in the USU Caine college of performing arts. We analyzed this to see the instrument preferences of aspiring professional trumpet players. We have chosen two primary variables to determine this from. First, we find the sound signature produced by the instrument and the player. Second, we look at the type of music that the player is interested in. This is a seemingly simple relationship, but we have found it to be fraught with complication.
