Ian Bousfield is considered one of the preeminent trombonists in the world. There are numerous truncated biographies highlighting his achievements. However, there has not been a significantly-detailed biography, written on his behalf, that also includes his teaching and his recent work with equipment manufacturers. This document will detail Bousfield's life in four chapters. It will begin with his early life and lead into his time with the Hallé Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Vienna Philharmonic. His teaching will be separated into two sections, institutions and pedagogy; the first of which will highlight his relationship with four institutions where he is on faculty, and the second will discuss his pedagogical beliefs. The third chapter will illuminate his relationship with trombone and mouthpiece manufacturers, and the final chapter will allow Bousfield to reflect on his career. Ian Bousfield finished his orchestral career in 2012. His playing career lasted over thirty years and has been well documented through ample recordings; specifically, with the London Symphony Orchestra and their work on film soundtracks. He has been teaching full-time since he ended his orchestral career, and his students are some of the most successful trombonists through their posts in orchestras and academic institutions throughout the world. / A Treatise submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. / Spring Semester 2017. / April 7, 2017. / Halle Orchestra, Hochschule der Künste, Ian Bousfield, London Symphony Orchestra, Trombone, Vienna Philharmonic / Includes bibliographical references. / John R.
