Trumpet Lessons in Corona. Amazing Teachers.

I am a classically trained trumpet player and teacher. My approach to teaching trumpet focuses on building a strong foundation of good sound production and technique. I have a holistic approach to teaching, instilling in my students the fundamentals of music theory, ear training, and listening.

As a trumpet player, I feel confident instructing beginners and advanced students on this instrument. I tailor my lessons to students individual needs, using many different respected trumpet methods to meet the challenges of the individual players.

I have been teaching trumpet for 6 years. My teaching style is very relaxed. My goal is to help you get better at what you are doing in a way that is easy and enjoyable. Whatever specific interests you bring to my attention, we will work on. Having played many styles of music I can offer guidance in helping you discover what you enjoy doing. No rules. No gimmicks. The only objective is to explore music while learning it through the trumpet. Not your typical "piano-lesson"

My lessons create a fun and motivational learning environment that promotes goal setting, good habits, positive self esteem based on tangible accomplishments, and an appreciation for the rewards of diligence and perseverance.

My services include music lessons in trumpet, jazz improvisation, music theory, jazz theory, and audition preparation.

I am currently the Principal Trumpeter in the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra, Assistant Principal Trumpet with the Grant Park Summer Music Festival Orchestra, Principal Trumpet with the Chicago Philharmonic Orchestra, and former Assistant Principal Trumpet with the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. I have performed with the Chicago Symphony and Milwaukee Symphony.

I Hold a Doctorate of Musical Arts degree from the University of South Carolina and I am a certified band director with 5 years band directing experience.

I particularly enjoy audition coaching, having won three international symphony orchestra auditions myself. My students have jobs ...

I graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in 2017 with a Bachelors in Trumpet Performance. Trumpet is my passion and I love sharing that passion with people who want to learn! I have a background in voice and piano, which I have been studying for 15 years, in addition to teaching music theory and private lessons to students ages 5-18. I love working with musicians of all ages and experience levels to help them reach their full potential! Send me a message to learn more!

Experienced music teacher of 7 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! While clarinet is my primary instrument I have a special attachment to the trumpet. My original clarinet teacher was in fact a trumpet player and is currently a section leader for one of the United States Air Force Bands. I have also given private lessons to 4 trumpet players - some of whom have gone on to do very well at the high school level.
