Bio

Guillem Torró Senent is an international trumpet performer, educator, and researcher whose work bridges artistic excellence, innovative pedagogy, and practice-based research. He holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in Trumpet Performance from the University of Texas at Austin and currently serves as Instructor of Trumpet at Georgia College & State University, where he teaches applied trumpet to majors and minors and coaches chamber music ensembles.

As a performer, Guillem maintains an active career as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral trumpeter across the United States and Europe. He has collaborated with ensembles such as the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and the North Texas Wind Symphony, and toured extensively with M5 Mexican Brass, presenting both concert and pedagogical programs around the US. His solo appearances include performances at the Ravenna International Organ Music Festival (Italy), where he premiered Fanfarria! (2024) for trumpet and organ. He has also toured and recorded as lead trumpet with a wide range of ensembles, experiences that continue to shape his artistic voice.

As an educator, Guillem is dedicated to fostering a student-centered, inclusive learning environment that emphasizes listening, self-regulation, and long-term artistic development. His teaching focuses on applied trumpet, chamber music, and brass pedagogy, integrating performance psychology, healthy practice habits, and effective preparation strategies. He regularly presents masterclasses in the United States, Mexico, and Europe, and is deeply committed to helping students build confidence, artistic identity, and autonomy in their musical growth.

Guillem’s research emerges directly from artistic practice. Working within a practice-based and action-research framework, he explores how musical knowledge is generated through performing, practicing, and teaching, with particular interest in self-regulated practice, performance anxiety, and sustainable approaches to music making.

Beyond the studio and stage, Guillem is actively involved in educational outreach and community engagement. He has mentored trumpet performers and educators internationally, co-founded educational initiatives in Spain focused on access to music education, and founded the Will Music Student Agency, a platform designed to connect young musicians with academic and professional opportunities. Across all his work, Guillem believes that education is the most powerful tool for building a better society.
