Trumpet Lessons in Winnetka. Amazing Teachers.

We will work on strengthening fundamentals as well as building music theory knowledge. The focus will be classical, but can also include jazz and learning how to improvise. Each student enters with a goal, and I want to work with them to reach it.

Being a brass player myself, I have taught hundreds of students the art of playing the trumpet in school bands over the years. Some have even gone on to teach music themselves!

I have spent over 12 years studying trumpet. During this time I have focused on jazz and it's impact on pop, rock, and R&B music. Coupled with my expertise as a lead singer, I can take your performance skills and stage presence to the next level. I also work great with kids, creating a fun learning environment to get them excited about different styles of music.

From jazz to pop to classical repertoire, I can can guide towards playing any brass instrument you are interested in! Having played trumpet for 18 years I have acquired the skills needed to be a professional brass player. Brass instruments are challenging and wonderful. I've studied many techniques that I now apply to my own playing and will be able to apply to yours.

I have been playing trumpet for 20 years, and have been teaching since 2008

I graduated with a degree in music performance in 2019, and have over 13 years of playing experience and 5 years of teaching experience (ranging from student as young as 5 years old). Outside of music, I am a medical student (M.D.). I enjoy using music as an outlet and teach trumpet lessons because it is my passion!

As a teacher, my goal is to help not only facilitate musical interpretation and technical skills on the trumpet but also help foster a student's life-long love for music. I believe that students should not only progress technically but foster a sense of who they are as performers, regardless of their level.

As a performer, I have played in symphony orchestras, in the pit for musicals such as Pippin, Into the Woods, and The Music Man, and private gigs. I've received training in performance anxiety and overcoming fear of public performance and would be happy to discuss techniques.
