Huntington Park, CA Trumpet Lessons

Miles has trumpet to taught all ages, ranging from fourth graders to retirees, and all skill levels from beginners to those preparing for college auditions. Schools he has instructed students at include Vista Murrieta High School, Fallbrook High School, Martin Luther King Jr. High School, William Workman High School, Rubidium High School, Raymond Cree Middle School, and Warm Springs Middle School.

Skills covered include everything needed to play the trumpet successfully. Sound, projection, reading, technique, flexibility, repertoire, and range can all be developed if the student earnestly wants to take the time to develop them. A practice regimen is designed for each individual student depending on their strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

Whether you're just starting on the trumpet or you're preparing for state band auditions, I've got the skills and insight you need to become a great trumpet player. In high school I was an all-state jazz trumpet player, and I went to college on a scholarship to play jazz trumpet. I keep lessons fun and interesting by incorporating the kinds of music you enjoy with the kinds of music you need to achieve your goals.

Learn to play the trumpet! Students will learn to develop properly formed embouchure, efficient breathing, breath control, posture and diaphragm support, note fingerings, and develop valve technique, learn and develop proper tonguing and lip flexibility.

Both classical and jazz lessons available.

All levels and styles of trumpet performance.

Having played in groups like Wind Ensembles, Orchestras, Quintets, Jazz Ensembles, Brass Bands, Combos, etc., I can and will teach any and all styles from beginner to advanced levels. I will push you as hard as you want to be pushed from your lessons, and can help you become competitive in auditions for jobs, gigs, honor bands, and school. I have a methodical approach to the instrument which includes not only the physical aspect of the trumpet, but the mental aspect, which is largely ignored.

Luis has years of experience working with students across the country toward their personal goals. Whether you are looking to play for fun, get into a major college program, or anything in between, Luis has the experience to get you there!

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.

I have many years of trumpet experience in classical and jazz. I can teach basic trumpet skills, reading music, playing by ear and even helping students learn their favorite songs!

Take lessons with a experienced teacher that actively performs and teaches. What makes me a good teacher is the fact that I struggled during the first few years that I started playing. I had a work through those struggles in order to become the musician I am today, so I know how to break things down and to cater lessons to each individual student. There is no cookie cutter method for all, we each have our own issues to work on. Some naturally gifted teachers will just tell you to play something and make it work...but since I had to work hard to become successful, I can use what I learned to help you to achieve success. I will help you to build a strong fundamental base and to turn your weaknesses into strengths! Whether you are preparing for school band or ensemble, for honor band auditions, college auditions, or solo and ensemble festivals, I would be happy to help you to become the musician that you want to become.

Have been playing trumpet since the age of 13. I have been placed in first chair eversince the 8th grade. I play high notes almost all the time for perfomances. I've played with my college "A" band and played solos professionally with Dr. Chan who has performed with artist such as Wayne Bergeron. Am willing to help attain the dreams of the aspired-trumpet player.
