Pasadena, CA Trumpet Lessons

My services provide you with an opportunity to learn from a balance state of thinking to achieve success in your goals for the chosen instrument. Whether its technique, learning how to read both musically and literally, my teaching methods are very self reflective and introspective to provide the understanding you're looking for. All in all my sessions are very people friendly and driven to meet your needs. This helps to learn on a deeper level so that you may appreciate, learn faster and enjoy a greater sense of awareness for the fun of the music making process. I have a very warm and easy going approach with an emphasis on FUN so that we can connect to what we love to do which is make music.

I've been teaching trumpet for 20 years, and I've found one thing to be true....If you're not having fun, you're not going to learn. Learning a musical instrument should be something you look forward to, and I strive to make that the case for each and every student. We'll have a blast, and you'll come away from your lesson feeling encouraged and looking forward to putting the techniques you've learned in motion towards becoming a better player.

I strive to teach my students in a way that will eventually allow them to teach themselves.

I'm primarily a French horn player, but I can teach trumpet as well.

Maintenance, range building, jazz playing, you name it!

I have been teaching brass for nearly 6 years. My students have gone on to pursue music degrees in college and have performed around the country. I focus on fundamental technique while tapping into the student's passion for music and performance. I rely heavily on communication with each student: finding out what their goals are and encouraging them to have an opinion on their playing and their improvement process. I love to encourage growth both as a musician and as someone enriched by music!

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.

As a performer I have played in the Los Angeles and Orange County area for the past 3 years as a member of big bands, jazz combos, and 4 piece brass ensembles. I have taught in both one on one settings as well as full ensemble classes and have seen great progress and success in my students in each. Overall my focus in teaching is on sound quality, technique, and stylistic relevance.

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.
