I'm a senior citizen that still works. I played some other instruments when I was younger and always wanted to play piano and Michael has motivated me to continue to learn and fit my practice into my work schedule. Anyone who wants to learn to play an instrument should look no further then Michael.

I have studied with Vince Penzarella, Mel Broiles, Laurie Frink, Ed Treutel and many others.

"Chris is an amazing teacher and musician. I have had online trumpet lessons with him and it really helped me become better with techniques I didn't really
learn about with other teachers. I would really recommend him as a musical instrument teacher, if it's for both beginners or advanced players.
Thank you for your help Chris."

Review by Ethan
"My experience with Chris as a trumpet teacher has been very good, though less formal than other students. Having played beside him in ensembles and played
for him in sessions, I can attest to his level of musicianship and his technical ability. If you were to give a sheet of music, whether it be a lead sheet, solo repertoire, or even just a technical exercise, to a run of the mill musician they could read it down and play it with no to few mistakes. If you gave that same sheet to Chris, he would play it with the same precision, but with much more musicality concerning details in the music. Details like dynamics, style, articulations, and the theory behind the notes do not go unnoticed. Chris also makes sure that this type of detail oriented thinking while playing is something that is passed onto his students in lessons. Another component I like about Chris' teaching is his flexibility and adaptability in his modes of teaching. Rather than just stay with one tried and true method book (e.g. Arban's and only Arban's), Chris has taken a plethora of past teaching methods and assembled them into a teaching style that meets the modern (and often multiple cross-genres) demands on the trumpet."

Review by Lee
"Locally there are no quality trumpet teachers within 45 minute of our home. My son, who has played in middle school for the last two years, started lesson
s with Chris online 3 weeks ago. Although I was a little pessimistic on how well my son would respond, everything has been great. Chris is very good with explaining concepts and is very patient. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for online trumpet lessons."

""Chris Brass" is an amazing trumpet teacher. I had him as a trumpet teacher at Long Lake Camp for the Arts when he was the Brass Teacher and head of music
. I also had the amazing opportunity to arrange music for the orchestra to play at the summer camp which he was in charge in. Chris is an amazing teacher, brass-performer, arranger, and a nice person!"

"Chris, "Chris Brass", is an amazing trumpet teacher. I've taken trumpet and French horn lessons with him at Long Lake Camp for the Arts for the past four
summers, and he's helped me tremendously with both of these instruments. I have been able to gain more of a hold on techniques, as well as learn a ton of tips and tricks from Chris that I am very thankful for. Overall, Chris is a very talented and amazing teacher, and also a very kind person."

Review by Vicki
"My son really enjoys Chris. He is an experienced and knowledgeable teacher and his enthusiasm is contagious. He sends an update with feedback after
each lesson. Our son thinks he is easy to talk to and really nice. We are pleased with our sons improvement in only two months of lessons."

Review by Bayley
"Chris is by far the best lesson teacher I have ever had, he is always understanding and very helpful, and the lesson enviroment is always relaxed and alwa
ys flows nicely. His method of teaching is one that cand eaisly be adapted to any student from beginer to advanced. With other lesson teachers I would stare at the clock and count down the seconds till my lesson was over, but with Chris time flies by, yet I get more done every lesson then I did with my former lesson teachers. Overall Chris is an amazing lesson teacher, and I would strongly recomend him."
