Trumpet Lessons in Glen Echo. Amazing Teachers.

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.

From jazz to pop to classical repertoire, I can can guide towards playing any brass instrument you are interested in! Having played trumpet for 18 years I have acquired the skills needed to be a professional brass player. Brass instruments are challenging and wonderful. I've studied many techniques that I now apply to my own playing and will be able to apply to yours.

I've spent time research and perfecting upper register trumpet playing. I play on bugles, cornets, and trumpets. I teach all 3 and encourage young players to start on bugles. Message me for help choosing an instrument. There are alternatives to the heavy brass and allows younger players even to learn. For example, my youngest boy who is turning 3 is learning bugle.

Coming from 15+ years' experience learning, interpreting, & performing music; 7+ years recording, & 6+ years teaching, you can expect from me an enjoyable, streamlined lesson to help strengthen your musical understanding & ability to further utilize your love for music. I specialize in classical, jazz fundamentals, rock/pop, recording, composition, & live performance. I'm fairly well versed in many other genres, so I can easily meet your preferences across the board. Cultivate a deeper relationship with your instrument & unlock your potential! :)

I have been a musician for 30yrs. with Alto Sax being my Primary Instrument. Being a Woodwind player I also play Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, Tuba, and Percussion. I have performed in many large/medium/small venues with many Bands and Ensembles throughout my career. I have also, been a Georgia Certified Teacher, member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity, and member of the Music Educators National Conference for 14yrs. Most recently as an educator in Clayton County I performed with other musicians at a County production of "The Wiz".

Welcome to my profile! Throughout the eight years I have spent as a trumpet player, I have developed a firm understanding of musical techniques that range from classical to jazz styles. I would love to deepen my passion for music by sharing my knowledge with you! Our lessons would consist of learning the fundamentals of trumpet playing, sight reading practice, an introduction to music theory. Beginners of all ages welcomed. I cannot wait to begin our time together!
