Higley, AZ Trumpet Lessons

Lessons consist of theory, trumpet literature, and musical stylings of different genres

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.

This is my primary instrument, on which I have over 19 years of playing experience. I am ready to help you get better whether you just bought a trumpet or are studying music in college.

As a trumpet player, I feel confident instructing beginners and advanced students on this instrument. I tailor my lessons to students individual needs, using many different respected trumpet methods to meet the challenges of the individual players.

I'm an experienced trumpet teacher/performer of 10 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of musical skills. I can teach in Classical, Jazz, and Rock styles, and past students of mine have been accepted at some of the best music schools in the country (ASU and Northwestern) on scholarship!

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.

Trumpet is the most physical instrument that requires your whole body to work efficiently. Understanding the breath and how to relax the body goes a long way in learning the trumpet.

With over a decade of professional international and national performing experience and a decade of teaching privately, I offer a plethora of knowledge for you or your child. From beginner to advanced trumpet, if you want to learn it, I can teach it! I have a unique teaching style that allows me to adapt to the needs of my students, assuring the success of each student. Whether you're just starting out, wanting to learn a little bit more, or want to reach for the Double High C and beyond, I will help get you there!

The Doctor is in! I am the founder and owner of NOVA Music Academy in Winchester with a professional teaching studio and staff to teach every wind and string instrument.
