"Amazing!"

Review by André
"My lessons with Leandro were very fruitful and opened a new horizon for my trumpet study. As a teacher, Leadro combines methodological rigor with creativi
ty and improvisation. On one hand, the classes explored a series of exercises, selected from established methods of study. On the other, lessons were full of inventiveness, exploring the combination of the trumpet with other instruments, such as the guitar. The classes were offered for two students at the same time and many possibilities of exercises and improvisations were practiced. It was a moment of great progress in my studies."

Review by Jennifer
"Maureen has improved my son Nate's trumpet playing immensely. Where before he had some difficulty hitting the high notes, and his playing was somewhat te
ntative, he now plays with greater confidence and in tune. I noticed his improvement shortly after he started being taught by Maureen - not only as he was going through the scales, but in all the songs he practices now. Being an improved player has had the effect of Nate practicing more now as well. Maureen has taught him the importance of practice, the discipline it takes to improve, and has really developed his interest in the instrument. All this is testament to Maureen's quality as an instructor. I highly recommend her!"

Review by Brian
"My first instruction from David O. couldn't have gone better. He quickly summed up my abilities (or lack thereof) and put me on a course for improvement.
Dave's style of teaching was fun and unintimidating. In addition, Dave is extremely patient and sincere. I'm looking forward to the next lessons."

Review by Renato
"Leandro was my first trumpet teacher, I started taking classes with him back when I was 14 up until I was 17 and went ahead to study in the Conservatorio
de Tatuí (the same institution he had studied years earlier, of which he gave me the best impressions and prepared me to the admission tests). He introduced me to trumpet technique, handing me the fundaments of the instrument I later learned from a few other teachers to be exactly the same no matter what is your level with the instrument (sound, breathing, flexibility, tonguing, scales, register and such), showing and teaching me with the great methods like Arban, Collins and others. At the same time while studying under him he fed my curiosity about jazz music of the great trumpeters, introducing me to greats like Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw, lending me his records so I could hear their music in my home. With him I started learning improvisation in the trumpet, knowing the basic forms like blues or AABA standard. In all aspects I'd highly recommend him as a teacher, as I can say for sure that he gave me the strongest foundation for my later studies and career as a trumpeter."

Review by Thomas
"It's been more than a year of weekly lessons with Mack, and I could not be happier.
Mack is smart, quick, and knows how to handle kids to get results

. There's no wheedling, bargaining or begging. It's just ok, do this, no, stop, do it again., No stop do it again, no stop do it again, and then good, that sounds good. I guess I should not be surprised, really, but my 13 yr old son cites this as what he likes best about Mack's instruction - it's all business.
Would I recommend Mack as a teacher for kid's music lessons? Yes, without reservation. Mack is an excellent teacher."

"Tom is great to work with. The first lesson was a very enjoyable experience where I really learned a lot and received some great tips and advice in the s
hort span of just one hour. If you know anyone who has been procrastinating and putting off taking lessons, force them to take a lesson with Tom. They will thank you. -Steve S."
