Trumpet Lessons in Atlanta, GA. Amazing Teachers.

From the melodies in an ensemble to solo playing, trumpet is a shining star in the brass family. We'll start from the basics and get you playing your favorite songs soon!

I have an array of approaches to best fit each student individually on their road to mastering the trumpet.

I have been a musician for 30yrs. with Alto Sax being my Primary Instrument. Being a Woodwind player I also play Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, Tuba, and Percussion. I have performed in many large/medium/small venues with many Bands and Ensembles throughout my career. I have also, been a Georgia Certified Teacher, member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity, and member of the Music Educators National Conference for 14yrs. Most recently as an educator in Clayton County I performed with other musicians at a County production of "The Wiz".

For students who have recently joined a school band and want to get the most benefit by starting with a solid foundation. Students will learn the basics of sound production, forming the embouchure, breath control, and proper posture for playing the trumpet.

I believe that a beautiful sound is the most important thing. Rather than telling you how to get a great sound, I will demonstrate by playing everything back and forth with you. Learning a musical skill is accomplished through trial and error, thus we need to make mistakes in order to improve. I encourage my students not to be afraid of making mistakes. Perfection is not the target - a beautiful sound is the ultimate goal.

I don't typically teach trumpet beyond an 8th grade level, but can help a more experienced student get caught up in high school band.
