High Brass Instructor

Kenneth Kamping is excited to continue as a trumpet tech on the Madison Scouts Brass Staff. During the school year, Ken is a Middle School Band, Orchestra, and Digital Music teacher at Mineola Middle School in Mineola, NY. Receiving his B.A. in Trumpet Performance from SUNY Purchase, and M.A. in Music Education at LIU Post, Ken has learned from, as well as performed with, some of the most sought-after musicians on Broadway and in New York City including Tony Kadleck, Graham Ashton, and Richard Clymer.

Ken has taught and designed with multiple marching bands in the New York area over the past nine years, serving as a brass/visual teacher, and music arranger. He is the Marching Band Director for the Mineola Mustang Marching Band. Ken has been lucky to be a part of instructional and design teams that have won multiple NYSFBC Championships in recent years.

Ken’s marching experience includes the Sachem Arrows Marching Band (2010-2013), The Sunrisers Drum and Bugle Corps (2013-2014), and Carolina Crown (2015, 2016, and 2018).
