Clinton, MD Trumpet Lessons

I equally cover fundamentals, technique, tone production, classical, jazz and anything else the student might be interested in.

I have over 20 years' experience playing the trumpet and can use that experience to help you learn. Emphasis on tone while developing other aspects from the basics to advanced techniques.

Beginner to advanced trumpet students Depending on overall musical experience of the student, the initial focus will be on proper embouchure, beginner music theory, and note reading exercises. Lessons will work in conjunction with other aspects of the students music education, such as music class in school, NYSSMA solos, concert preparation, etc.

Playing a brass instrument can be a fun and rewarding experience when approached in the correct way. I help all my students develop a good attitude toward playing music, as well as setting them up for success in developing a good sound and technique. I have helped students prepare for all situations, including auditions, adjudications, and yearly band concerts.

I've been studying trumpet for 15 years, and I'm eager to work with students of all ages. I will give students a firm foundation in trumpet fundamentals, while also focusing on what the student would like to learn. I specialize in jazz and contemporary music, though I am also trained in classical music.

Hi, I've been teaching trumpet to students of all ages for more than 15 years and I would love to share my knowledge and experience with you! I emphasize fundamentals and apply those to the interests (and school requirements) of my students. I love jazz especially and often incorporate rhythm, improvisation, and ear training into my lessons for a fuller musical experience.

Beginner - Learn how to read music and have a good technical grasp of tonguing and phrasing.
Intermediate - Prepare to learn pieces of music and play in ensembles.
Advanced - learn orchestral performance and solo performance techniques on a high level.

My passion for music drives my desire to share it. I value having fun and enjoying what you do above all else so I try to teach in a lighthearted, friendly, peer-to-peer type of way. I think that musicians flourish when they are able to build on their own ability without the help of the teacher, so my goal is to enable you to become better than what I could ever teach you. I have studied the trumpet for almost 10 years and am excited to share what I know with the next generation of trumpeters!
