Garrett Park, MD Trumpet Lessons

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

I currently teach trumpet at the New School for Leadership and the Arts, but I have many years' experience teaching music to students of all ages. I teach to the abilities, passions, and ambitions of the student(s).

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.

I believe that it is very important to have a good musical foundation in addition to playing the trumpet. We will go over aspects of music theory such as scales and key signatures. We will go over the fundamentals of playing trumpet and use exercises from various different method books. We will also go in depth into any styles that you are interested in. I will ask you to listen to recordings of great trumpet players so you can model their sound. Lessons will be rewarding and fun!

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.

The Doctor is in! I am the founder and owner of NOVA Music Academy in Winchester with a professional teaching studio and staff to teach every wind and string instrument. I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Flute Performance from Shenandoah University and I have taught children and university students for more than 10 years. Your child deserves the BEST music teacher. From experience I know teachers vary wildly in quality; with me, you are assured expert quality and professionalism that your child deserves.

Whether your child loves Mozart or Moana, is putting their instrument together for the first time, or getting ready for a big audition, I meet your child at their level and I take them to the stars!

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!
