Trumpet Lessons in Jamaica. Amazing Teachers.

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"

35 + yrs playing/teaching experience
Classical to Jazz
Fun mixed with work

As a trumpeter, my skills vary from technique, jazz improvisation, lead trumpet playing, to classical playing. I was a member of the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra in 2018, a jazz band consisting of musicians selected from across the United States. With this band I traveled to Japan and performed in the Monterey Jazz Festival in California. I have also toured Europe on several other occasions playing festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Umbria Jazz Festival with the Philadelphia Jazz Orchestra. Here in the States I have played at venues such as Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, Birdland, Chris’s Jazz Café in Philly, The Kennedy Center, and more.
