Bill Adam is considered by many professional trumpet players to be one of the premier trumpet pedagogues of this century. His students have included John Head (principal trumpet of the Atlanta Symphony), Robert Platt (principal trumpet of the Berlin Philharmonic), New York studio musicians Randy Brecker and Chris Botti, and L.A. studio musicians Jerry Hey, Larry Hall and Charlie Davis.
