Trumpet Lessons in Speer. Amazing Teachers.

Experienced teacher specializing in beginning and intermediate trumpet players. I cater all lessons to the needs and goals of my students. Lessons are spent working on establishing a strong technical foundation and applying that technique to repertoire. Lessons with me will explore the technical aspects of the trumpet, different styles of music, and basic music theory. Hit me up any time to get started!

I have gladly devoted the past 20 years of my life to understanding this wonderful instrument.

I started teaching in 1998 at the K=
ennelly Keys in Everett and Bigfoot music in Smokey Point in 1999. I starte=
d the year 2000 at the Mills Music in Monroe. My youngest student has been =
a 4 years old.
=C2=A0I played trumpet in school=C2=A0 from 5th grade on and was the first =
chair in the 9th grade Orchestra in seventh grade. I took trumpet lessons a=
t Kennelly Keys at Arts Food Center on Holman Road in Seattle. Roy Kennelly
told me at the time that if I wanted to be a musician that I would have to=
get used to playing the same thing over and over again. I took that to hea=
rt and try to impart the same type of philosophy to my students.
I periodically take trumpet lessons in the Seattle area to brush up on my c=
hops and also to learn new ways of Teaching.

My two basic goals at the core of my teaching philosophy:
To help the students develop the skills on the trumpet, through technical and physical development, with the long-range goal of developing a student’s ability to successfully pursue a career of teaching and/or performing if that is their choice.
To help bring his or her soul into each performance on the trumpet, and to help the student learn to tell a story, paint a picture, and create a mood – the language of the music.

I am a professional trumpet player, playing for the Royal Guards in Copenhagen, Denmark. More than that I am an excellent cornet player, playing for Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musikklag in Norway, former principal with both Swedish, Swiss, danish and English bands.
Through my career in classical music and brass band playing, I have taught and worked with a lot of different players. Both trumpet, soprano and cornet players, from 7 y/o to 67 y/o.
Nobody is too old or young to learn if the motivation is there!
