Trumpet Lessons in Clairemont Mesa East. Amazing Teachers.

The most successful musicians are the ones who tell a story through making music. The secret to this success is a commitment to constant improvement and cultivating a strong musical voice. These are the cornerstones of my experience teaching and performing music. Throughout high school, college, and even beyond, I’ve sought out opportunities to share music and connect with audiences regardless of where I am. I believe music is something deeply personal and a gift that should be shared with others. Study with me and I will help you find your voice so you can share with the people in your life.

Hey everyone! My name is Sam Stout, and I am currently a trumpet performance student at the Peabody Conservatory. My primary teachers are Tony Prisk, second trumpet of the Philadelphia Orchestra and Billy Hunter, principal trumpet of the MET Opera Orchestra. I have also taken lessons from Andrew Balio (principal of the Baltimore Symphony), David Bilger (principal of the Philadelphia Orchestra), and Tom Hooten (principal of the LA Phil). Over these past few years, I have a developed a deeper and more accurate understanding of the fundamentals of the trumpet and what is the proper way of learning the instrument.

What I enjoy about learning and performing as a trumpet player is that you always have to solve problems but with the pursuit of creating beauty. Although it can be frustrating to experience problems in our playing, solving those problems is highly fulfilling as a student and teacher. If you decide to study with me, I will be fully dedicated to solving your individual needs.

I have years of experience teaching trumpet to beginners!

As a professional brass musician, I have been teaching brass instruments for over twelve years.

For the beginner level, I have introduced many students to their first instrument ensuring that fundamentals are in place. At the intermediate level, I have helped many students advance in competitions and seat assignments within their band program. As a collegiate educator, I have given masterclasses at universities and private lessons to music performance students preparing for auditions and solo recitals.

I have taught online lessons for over four years and have used multiple online communication platforms to teach effective lessons. My students truly enjoy the online interaction during their lessons.

I have taught a wide variety of ages - everyone from 10 years old to 76 years old. One of the great joys I have in teaching is that each student brings their own unique strengths to lessons. My goal is to raise their level of playing while always having fun.
