Having had experience in Australian Symphony Orchestras and ensembles, Peter has the passion and expertise to take you as far as you want to go

**Currently accepting new students of all ages and instruments.**(8/9/17)

As a professional brass musician, I have been teaching brass instruments for over ten years.

For the beginner level, I have introduced many students to their first instrument ensuring that fundamentals are in place. At the intermediate level, I have helped many students advance in competitions and seat assignments within their band program. As a collegiate educator, I have given masterclasses at universities and private lessons to music performance students preparing for auditions and solo recitals.

I have taught online lessons for over four years and have used multiple online communication platforms to teach effective lessons. My students truly enjoy the online interaction during their lessons.

I have taught a wide variety of ages - everyone from 10 years old to 65 years old. One of the great joys I have in teaching is that each student brings their own unique strengths to a lessons. My goal is ...

My primary performing instrument. I have studied with several masters of the trumpet, and still study with several world wide trumpet performers. The struggle I have gone through to go from Saxophone to Trumpet was tremendous, and included braces, and the whole 9 yards. I currently study with:

Adam Rapa
Mike Williams
Shawn Williams
Kathryn Adduci
Jef Lewis
John Worley

(Yes, all of them!)

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.

I have over 5 years of experience teaching beginner and intermediate trumpet. Students are my number one priority. I believe in teaching outside the book, to give each one of my students an individualized plan to reach their goals. I will always go above and beyond to steer you in the right direction, and to make your music experience last a lifetime.

Students can expect to be appropriately challenged with repertoire, in a supportive, communicative environment. I am happy to work on school repertoire, pop tunes or music from the standard repertoire. I believe in efficiency and getting the most out of your practice time. We all lead busy lives, I will teach you how to accomplish your goals with the time you want to invest.

Unfortunately I do not teach beginners online, only in person. It is impossible to develop the appropriate sound and skills without being there in person. I can help you find someone in your area, please feel free to reach out!

Students who take my lessons can expect a better fundamental understanding of producing the best sound possible, and putting it to good use with great musical interpretation

I teach you how to read, play, and transpose the music. I also work on techniques necessary for good tone and breathe control. We also work on Theory so you understand what is in the music that you are reading.

I've been teaching Trumpet and Piano for 4 years and my students have gone on to Region and All-State Bands and some have been accepted into music schools such as Berkley and Mason Gross. I specialize in Jazz Trumpet and Piano but also invest much of time time into whatever my student show interest in (Classical, Pop, Rock etc...). I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

There is a reason you want to play the trumpet; let's find it with fun, satisfying and efficient lessons!

'm a seasoned educator with 20+ years of experience. I have a specific curriculum in which all students learn to read and play. We focus on executive skills, techniques, tone quality, and music theory. We will play a variety of musical styles which will lead to a love of music. I specialize in individualized instruction. My primary instrument is saxophone, but I also teach flute, clarinet, trumpet, and trombone. If you want your son or daughter to have a top notch education, consider joining my studio today.
