Wayne Bergeron is now enjoying a career as one of the most active players on the Los Angeles scene. With studio dates, International touring, jazz concerts, guest soloist appearances and clinics he has no intention of slowing down. Wayne is currently on staff at California State University Northridge where he manages to find time to teach privately. His skills have taken him to different parts of the globe as a clinician/soloist. "Since my line of work covers a lot of ground musically, I need an instrument that responds to these needs. The YTR-8335LA is the most versatile Bb trumpet I have ever played – from the scoring stage to soaring over a big band, the Yamaha 8335LA delivers the full spectrum of tone colors needed to get the job done."
