Rex Richardson has been named International Tutor in Trumpet at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, United Kingdom. This position is essentially an honorary one that will afford Rex the opportunity for several short teaching/performance residencies at RNCM every year for the next several years. He still maintains his normal touring schedule, as well as a full-time position as Associate Professor of Trumpet and Jazz Trumpet at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, USA.

The Rex Omni trumpet mouthpiece combines a round rim with a medium volume cup, 27 throat, and medium backbore. Rex uses the Omni mouthpiece for all of his work in a jazz combo setting and all classical work on B-flat, C, D, and E-flat trumpets.

The mouthpiece is manufactured by Pickett Brass. Click here for purchasing information.
