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.

If you decide to study with me, I will be fully dedicated to solving your individual needs.
