Marylhurst, OR Trumpet Lessons

I've been playing and studying trumpet, it's studies, and repertoire since year 2000 (all through middle school, high school, and college). The exercises, techniques and tuneful melodies that I've taught students have helped them grow in their music community, whether it be in the school band or local church. All ages and skill levels are welcomed!

All levels and styles of trumpet performance.

Every level welcome. I have found the most success with "Essential Elements 2000" for beginners. As students progress, more materials will be needed. "Arban's: Complete Method for Trumpet" is standard for advancing students in my curriculum.

I like to give students a good solid theoretical foundation first, then build to confirm with the students specific goals. For example, if the student is into a particular type of music (jazz, soul, classical...) I tailor the lessons to meet those goals.

Hello, my name is Mao Sone. I am a trumpet player, a pianist, a composer and an educator.

For the trumpet students, I will be able to transmit the information and technique that I have learned from my teachers.
My trumpet teachers are Tiger Okoshi and Sean Jones. They always knew what students needed to practice. Watching them over 5 years in Berklee College Of Music in the master's and bachelor's program gave me many materials so that I can pass down to the younger trumpet players.

For jazz lessons, I am willing to teach any instruments.
I study jazz ensemble and improvisation under grammy-winning artists such as Danilo Perez, John Patitucci, Joe Lovano, and Teri Lyne Carrington at the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, and played with them. The experiences I have got from them gave me the unique approaches to jazz music.

The key to growing your jazz maturity is to reinforce your rhythm by experiencing and practicing African grooves such as abakua 6/8. Studying those ...

My approach is to work with the individual based on their specific musical and personal learning needs while also emphasizing the basics (feel, sound, tone, rhythm, technique) and integrating what the student is doing in their current music groups as well as what music they are personally interested in.

A symphonic player with high-level marching band experience, Mark has acute insight into the varied needs of today's performers and develops customized paths for embouchure development and maintenance in addition to musical interpretation.

I have been teaching brass for nearly 6 years. My students have gone on to pursue music degrees in college and have performed around the country. I focus on fundamental technique while tapping into the student's passion for music and performance. I rely heavily on communication with each student: finding out what their goals are and encouraging them to have an opinion on their playing and their improvement process. I love to encourage growth both as a musician and as someone enriched by music!

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!
