This treatise will detail the artistic career of world-renowned classical trumpeter Philip R. Collins (b. 1948). The aim is to provide a
clear depiction of his artistic journey by describing his upbringing, education, professional career experiences and contributions as an
educator. The numerous artistic contributions Collins made throughout his career are substantial and valuable to document for current and future
generations of musicians. Over a timespan that covered four decades, Collins served as Principal Trumpet of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
and Pops Orchestra. As a member of both orchestras, Collins amassed a substantial catalog of more than 100 professional recordings in a wide
range of orchestral and pops genres. On several occasions, he soloed with the orchestras in both concerts and recordings. Prior to his
appointment in Cincinnati, he was a member of the Cleveland Orchestra, National Arts Centre Orchestra and the Eastman Brass Quintet. His
pedigree as a preeminent orchestral musician was guided and developed by world-renowned trumpet and brass educators and performers Melvin
Broiles, William Vacchiano, Bernard Adelstein and Arnold Jacobs. In addition to a lengthy orchestral career, Collins is the Adjunct Associate
Professor of Trumpet at the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. His effectiveness as an educator has resulted in
several of his students attaining professional orchestra, premiere military band, and collegiate teaching appointments. As an author and
composer, he has published several trumpet books that present unique musical styles and approaches to trumpet practice and performance, and has
published hymn arrangements for trumpet ensemble. Research for this treatise was done by conducting several e-mail interviews with Philip
Collins. The information from these interviews provided a large foundation of original information for the treatise. In addition, several audio
recordings were referenced to gain further insight into Collins' artistry. Further information was gathered through various internet sources,
including newspaper clippings and journal articles. Finally, a survey was sent to former colleagues, students and friends of Collins with the
purpose of providing further insight into his legacy. Philip Collins is one of the most successful orchestral trumpeters and teachers whose
influence through preeminent musicianship and professionalism has provided a positive impact on countless aspiring musicians. His exceptional
legacy can be heard through hundreds of professional classical and pops recordings, can be studied from his published materials, and is
remembered by those who worked with him. Collins' significance to the trumpet and music communities is important to document and
share. / A Treatise submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of
