As a professional brass musician, I have been teaching brass instruments for over twelve years.

For the beginner level, I have introduced many students to their first instrument ensuring that fundamentals are in place. At the intermediate level, I have helped many students advance in competitions and seat assignments within their band program. As a collegiate educator, I have given masterclasses at universities and private lessons to music performance students preparing for auditions and solo recitals.

I have taught online lessons for over four years and have used multiple online communication platforms to teach effective lessons. My students truly enjoy the online interaction during their lessons.

I have taught a wide variety of ages - everyone from 10 years old to 76 years old. One of the great joys I have in teaching is that each student brings their

I teach absolute beginners, intermediate and advanced students. I work with them on technique, strong fundamentals, sound production and the repertoire of band and orchestra music.

I have been playing trumpet for over 20 years. I have performed a wide range of music including many forms of jazz, rock, classical and praise. Trumpet is my primary instrument. I studied with John Wilds (San Diego Opera and San Diego Symphony Orchestra) and Frank Glasson (San Diego Opera and San Diego Symphony Orchestra). The 'specialties' listed are examples of method books I use with students.

Experienced Music teacher of 8 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of their instrument and theory skills. I specialize in all styles. Typically, I use a variety of method books to pick from to meet the needs of the students. I also have many tools available to use during lessons.
My students have gone on to NYSSMA and on to college auditions successfully!

I have been playing the trumpet for 20 years. I attended Westfield State University where I earned my BA in Music and took lessons under the direction of Karen LaVoie and Steve Sonntag. I assist with coaching the trumpet section in the Youth Wind Ensemble of Springfield at Community Music School of Springfield. I am currently enrolled to receive my MA in Music Therapy at Saint Mary-of-the Wood's College.
Classical trumpet is my main focus, as that is what I am trained in. Students will play from various method books, as well as personalized exercises to aid in their success.

Hi! I have a Bachelors in Music Education and have experience teaching many beginning students! I have 3 children and decided to give up regular teaching to be with them. I believe that tone production is the most important area of study. It doesn’t matter what you can play if it doesn’t sound good. I can’t wait to help more students love to “play” on their instruments!

I have been teaching professionally for 5 years and privately for 10 years, specializing in beginner/intermediate/advanced musicians. I teach voice, violin, guitar, and trumpet. I specificaly teach mariachi music but I also have knowledge of other genres of music. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. Not only will you be playing songs in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note reading, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and more. I believe learining music should be a joyful experience and one that will be a positive change in your life. I want my students to reach their musical potential and aspirations while having a wonderful time!

As an experienced jazz trumpet player of 8 years, my work has lead me to play with some of the greatest of the music such as: Wynton Marsalis, Nicholas Payton, Sean Jones, Wycliffe Gordon, and many more. Along with jazz studies, I am well versed in music styles such as classical, pop, R&B, and soul, and have proficiency in technique, music theory, ear training, and composition. In these lessons, not only will we learn about improvisation, jazz history, and style, we will also learn about forming your own sound, getting gigs, and working the music industry. In weeks, you can play jazz standards and songs from your favorite recordings!
