Trumpet Lessons in Garrett Park. Amazing Teachers.

I have been teaching trumpet privately since 2013 and am continuously looking for ways to improve my students' levels of play! I am willing to teach anything you bring to me and work with you in classical, jazz, commercial and pop mediums and put my maximum efforts into every student's goals.

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

I will help you you build strong fundamentals and excellent habits. We will concentrate on your sound, tone, and pitch center. I will help you develop a daily routine that builds your skill set every time you play. I enjoy working with adult students and comeback players. I am more of a coach than a taskmaster. I am an active trumpeter and perform frequently with several ensembles.

All students will be expected to play from a variety of repertoire and methods in many different styles of music based on their level of playing.Outside of playing the instrument students will learn breathing exercises and will be expected to be actively listening to professional recordings. I hold my students to a high standard and expect them to always play at their best.

Looking for lessons to prepare for an audition, solo and ensemble competition, or just improve your general trumpet skills? My teaching approach is rooted in time-tested techniques (Arban, Schlossberg, Clarke), but with modern adaptations to help students of all skill levels. I have performed professionally playing jazz, orchestral music, commercial music, and pop/funk.
