Crownsville, MD Trumpet Lessons

A fuller sound, higher range, more facility and ease when playing. My goal is to introduce concepts of practice that would have you improve quickly.

Trumpet is my specialty; I've been playing it my entire life. Whether you're a beginner, an advanced player or a professional, I can help you take your playing further.

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

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.

I have over 10 years teaching experience from beginner through professional level. I have had the privilege of studying with some of the top trumpet instructors in the world and want to share my knowledge and experience with my students. My mission as a teacher is to inspire students to learn the art of the trumpet through a growth and goal oriented approach. I encourage my students to think critically and reflect frequently on their own playing as well as the musical meaning of their pieces. Whether the student is preparing for All-State auditions, college auditions, solo and ensemble, is having chop problems, needs and embouchure change, or just starting out and wants to learn good habits and skills, I can help along the way.

Hello and welcome to my studio! My name is Andrew and I'm enthusiastic to spread my love of music to all! I am available to teach at your home, my studio, and online, and can teach a plethora of musical genres ranging from classical to jazz, hip-hop to funk, and many others. I believe that the fundamentals are the most important starting place for any young or advanced trumpet player. So whether you are new to the trumpet and are searching for a great trumpet teacher, or are more advanced and want to learn the more intricate aspects of trumpet playing, I invite you to reach out to me! After fundamentals are covered we'll add the types of music and pieces you want to play, and other great trumpet literature. On top of this, I truly believe that the teacher-student relationship should be as best as possible, and so does the take lessons community. Therefore, if you find I am not the teacher for you then all of your unused lessons credits will be refunded. I look forward to helping ...

Problem's with range, sight-reading, tone, or you just don't know how to get better at trumpet? I have my master's in trumpet performance from UTA and am starting to build a healthy studio at the middle/high school level and I'm looking to branch out, all ages welcome though. I have 3 years experience and am classically focused. Lessons are catered to the needs/goals of the student. My biggest strength is pedagogy. If you have a serious issue in your playing or don't know how to improve, you've come to the right man.

I am an avid brass performer and teacher in the greater Baltimore area, having played for over a decade. In lessons, we will work out of some of the most trusted method books, discuss fundamental playing techniques in an accessible and easy-to-understand way, and search for unique solutions to individual problems as I tailor my teaching method to your learning style. All ages are welcome.

My lessons are generally filled with laughter and learning! Students first learn the fundamentals and basics level, then begin to build on their repertoire according to "their" musical interest!

I'm here to develop musicianship, technical proficiency, ear training, and theory!
