I teach you how to read, play, and transpose the music. I also work on techniques necessary for good tone and breathe control. We also work on Theory so you understand what is in the music that you are reading.

Hello! If you would like exciting, challenging and most importantly fun trumpet lessons, study with me! I use songs/repertoire the student can choose from as the basis of musical concepts. Ear training, music theory and all technical aspects are taught consistently based on the student's skill level. The student's happiness, progress, and interest are of great importance to my teaching methods. For younger students, a curriculum is used to help gage the student's progress and understanding. For older students a curriculum is also used, however, it is more lenient in regards to the student's needs. I have experience teaching all ages from 10 to 50 yr old players, thus I understand the importance of teaching in an organized, linear way. Personally I have been playing trumpet for 17 years, teaching for 6, received my Bachelors in Music Education, and will receive my Masters in Jazz Performance from NYU. My performing experience ranges from orchestral to jazz, reggae, musical theater, and

Ben has played trumpet professionally since 1992 in settings from solo showcases to playing principal position in orchestras, bands, jazz bands, and others. Ben focuses on students preparing and building self-confidence for auditions and performances of any level and type. He troubleshoots music fundamentals to boost a steady foundation, and he directs students to knowing how best to practice at home and eventually become effective independent learners who can accomplish anything.

I have eight years of teaching experience with all ages and levels. I found out that sharing music is my passion and I am looking forward to keep inspiring and developing new students.
I am a Berklee College of Music and Universidad San Francisco Alumni. I have shared the stage with musicians such as Paquito D' RIvera, Terrance Blanchard, Luis Enrique and record and grammy nominated albums with Alejandro Sanz and Dream Theater.

My trumpet lessons will focus on a detailed, comprehensive, and efficient approach to the both playing the instrument, as well as practicing on the instrument. My lessons can be tailored to those of all experience levels, beginner to advanced in order to help all students effectively grow their musical abilities.

While I love to perform, one of my greatest passions is teaching! I'm really good at instilling confidence in my students and assisting those who want to take their playing to the next level. I cater my lessons individually to each of my students and am an excellent problem-solver. Even ONE lesson can make a difference.
