Trumpet Lessons in Glendale. Amazing Teachers.

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.

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.

I have 20+ years of experience playing trumpet and have played in a variety of ensembles (concert band, jazz band, marching band, orchestra, rock/soul). Given my Michigan public school teaching experience, I am adept at teaching all levels of trumpet from beginning to advanced. Our trumpet lessons will focus on the fundamentals (buzzing, lip slurs, technique) but will also cover more creative concepts (phrasing, improvisation).

I am an experienced educator and orchestral musician. I have taught students of all ages and ability levels, and I really enjoy helping students learn and grow as musicians and trumpet players. I have held positions with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra and the Richmond Symphony in addition to playing with numerous orchestras throughout the midwest. Whether you are looking for help preparing for solo and ensemble, college auditions, or just want to improve on your instrument, I can help!

I have twenty years in musicianship as a trumpet player myself and five years of experience in teaching music. Each lesson is designed to cater to the needs of the student and provide them with the skills to advance as a successful musician. Each lesson is customized and the students will learn subjects such as sight reading, ear training, musical theory and more.

I have been a professional trumpet player since high school and studied it in college.
