Trumpet Lessons in Sopchoppy. Amazing Teachers.

I have been playing trumpet for 69 years.i majored in Music at the University of Wisconsin,studied privately with jazz greats Woody Shaw and toured and worked with Boz Scaggs
Otis Rush,Doug Samms,Jessica Williams,Sonny Fortune,Dexter Gordon and Art Blakey.

I can guide you through all aspects of playing the trumpet including embouchure studies, breath control, sound production, equipment choices, flexibility, range and endurance.

I am a classically trained trumpet player with a Bachelor of Music degree in Trumpet Performance from Lawrence Conservatory. I help beginner/intermediate students, of all ages, find their own beautiful sound on the instrument and fulfill their musical goals.

With over 10 years of teaching experience, and sharing the stage with the likes of Bob Mintzer and Gilbert Castellanos, trumpet playing is my biggest passion. Our lessons will be focused, yet relaxed; challenging but always fun and full of exciting challenges. My playing and teaching experiences have helped me understand what it takes to reach that "next level" of trumpet playing, whether it involves range, technique, or musical performance. I hope we can make some great music together soon!

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!
