Trumpet Lessons in Luther. Amazing Teachers.

The last four years I have been playing worship music for church services in Houston and Austin, TX. I feel like the Lord wants me to now teach the younger generation how to worship God with instruments. I started playing the trumpet in 6th grade and I was in the high school band for five years. I was in the All-Region Band every year from 7th grade through 12th grade and I once made it to Area while in high school. I play primarily hymns, but I am open to adding select anointed praise and worship songs. I think that hymns are a good starting place for those learning to worship God, since they are shorter songs and easier to play rather than something more lengthy and complicated. I'm very patient and I'm a trained and certified teacher as I used to teach and tutor high school science previously. Playing an instrument and worshiping God is something that should be fun and enjoyable, but also involves practice and hard-work. I look forward to working with you and your child, so

I like to meet students where they are in their musical journey and help them reach their goals. I let the student set their own pace for mastering new skills and work in the learning style that helps them obtain the most benefit from the lessons. I think leaning music should be fun and encouragement is key

I Have been teaching for 10 + years.Part of my daily focus is on relaxed breathing and generating a big beautiful tone for every note played. Long tones are something that I include in my daily regiment. Lots of dexterity exercises,range building, as well as endurance.

Another aspect of my daily regiment is improvisation. focusing on major/minor/ whole tone/diminished scales/ II-Vs in all keys and playing changes!

Lastly RESTING as MUCH as you PRACTICE is very IMPORTANT!
