Trumpet Lessons in Higley. 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.

With over 12 years of experience I help you take your trumpet skills to the next level. Whether you are a beginner or intermediate player I can help with breath support, range, repertoire, and much more.

Able to teach all levels of students, including professional level trumpet players interested in learning to improvise.

From the melodies in an ensemble to solo playing, trumpet is a shining star in the brass family. We'll start from the basics and get you playing your favorite songs soon!

I bring 42 years of experience as a performer and teacher to my lessons.
What I have learned in the world of performing I incorporate into my lessons, always based on the personal needs and goals of each individual. All are different and deserve the personal tailoring of their education to fit their needs. I use recorded materials as examples and as accompaniments as well as have materials both printed and other available to be shared with the student. I like to touch on all styles of music and at all levels. The student will learn breathing techniques, tone development, finger and articulation techniques, range development, improvisation, melodic interpretation, jazz study, and much more. There will even be music and trumpet history mixed in on occasion.
Mostly it's about enjoyment of trumpet and music and how our lives are enriched by them. Lessons in music are lessons in life.
