Trumpet Lessons in Mountain View. Amazing Teachers.

I teach students of all ages on all the brass instruments. With more than 30 years of teaching experience, I tailor my teaching to the individual needs of both students and parents, and I like to make our lessons fun and productive. I cover all the basics of playing, from correct breathing to correct style, and I impart a deep knowledge and appreciation of music to my students as well. I offer flexible scheduling, with sessions varying in length from 30 to 90 minutes, to help fit all budgets.

Learn about rhythm, melody, harmony, and dynamics, and how they apply to the trumpet. Explore the range of your instrument through various scales. Build solid skills through understanding the mechanics of how your body and instrument work together.

I have started hundreds of beginner students on trumpet who have advanced to a high level of performance ability. I teach basic musicianship and music theory as well as trumpet and cover classical and jazz styles. My students expand their ranges and take on higher difficulty as their lessons progress.

2 years of professional experience, specializing in the beginner/intermediate trumpet student! All ages welcome. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. Not only will you be playing songs in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note reading, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and more.

Hi, there! I've been teaching private lessons since 2010 I love helping my students learn how to read music, perform in groups at a high level, and compose their own music. I have a teaching style that is engaging, fun, and effective! I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

With years of teaching and gigging experience as a lead trumpet player, jazz soloist, classical player and composer I can guarantee improvement in whatever area my student is interested in. I can teach from a beginning level all the way to advanced players looking for additional coaching. All ages are welcome. In my lessons we will identify what aspects of trumpet playing and music you are interested in and work to improve in those areas. I specialize in fundamental brass technique, range improvement, endurance, jazz improvisation and songwriting. My teaching style will incorporate a theoretical approach so that my students learn about music as a whole while improving their trumpet playing.
