Avondale, AZ Trumpet Lessons

Having had experience in Australian Symphony Orchestras and ensembles, Peter has the passion and expertise to take you as far as you want to go

Hi, there! I've been teaching private lessons since 2010 and have loved helping my students learn how to read music, perform in groups at a higher level, and compose their own music. I have a teaching style that is engaging, fun, and effective. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

I want you to learn to express yourself through the trumpet, to help you master it and have lots of fun in the process! Trumpet was my second musical instrument (my first was my voice!), which I played through most of grade school and into high school. I can help you with good breath support and creating clear, steady tone.

All levels and styles of trumpet performance.

I am a professional full time Trombonist. At the same time, teaching has always been a big part of who I am - I love teaching. My music career has taken me around the world and back but more than that it has given me a wonderful tool of self expression, and for that I am forever grateful. My band performs regularly in Opera houses as well as coffee houses... Other than the Trombone I do play the Trumpet as well, and I have over 8 years of Piano under my belt. I feel very confident teaching Trumpet up to the advanced level. This is pretty much standard practice within the brass family :)

I have been playing trumpet for over 20 years. I have performed a wide range of music including many forms of jazz, rock, classical and praise. Trumpet is my primary instrument. I studied with John Wilds (San Diego Opera and San Diego Symphony Orchestra) and Frank Glasson (San Diego Opera and San Diego Symphony Orchestra). The 'specialties' listed are examples of method books I use with students.

I teach you how to read, play, and transpose the music. I also work on techniques necessary for good tone and breathe control. We also work on Theory so you understand what is in the music that you are reading.

For students who have recently joined a school band and want to get the most benefit by starting with a solid foundation. Students will learn the basics of sound production, forming the embouchure, breath control, and proper posture for playing the trumpet.

As a current music undergraduate I will use techniques taught to me by Professor Hickman, and Phoenix Symphony trumpet players. Together we will lay the appropriate groundwork to be an outstanding musician while also working on music of your interest! Lessons will vary from student to student and will be very dependent on what the student wants to work on!

Music will become so effortless! Lessons will also include information on music theory, ear training, and note reading. I also have experience in music composition.

I specialize in teaching beginning and intermediate students. Ages 8-17.

Problem's with range, sight-reading, tone, or you just don't know how to get better at trumpet? I have my master's in trumpet performance from UTA and am starting to build a healthy studio at the middle/high school level and I'm looking to branch out, all ages welcome though. I have 3 years experience and am classically focused. Lessons are catered to the needs/goals of the student. My biggest strength is pedagogy. If you have a serious issue in your playing or don't know how to improve, you've come to the right man.
