Trumpet Lessons in Logan Square. Amazing Teachers.

Experienced trumpet teacher/professional player of ten years. My goal is to inspire and help each of my students grow with custom tailored lessons primarily using exercises which I create specifically for each student. I make sure that all my students have a very strong understanding of the foundation and basics of trumpet playing so they learn to play the correct way from the start. I am well versed in many genres new and old from jazz and classical to funk, pop, reggae and hip-hop. Students must have their own instrument. I provide a music stand and blank staff paper for students coming to my home location while students I drive to must have music stand.

I have been teaching trumpet lessons now for 25 years. I have been involved in some professional playing in the past and on numerous recordings. I enjoy watching students learn and actually make progress in their playing as they listen to a teacher's advice. I focus on breathing, sound, and technique, which are the building blocks of a successful trumpet player. I do teach primarily from a classical perspective and do not perform or teach jazz playing. However, the technique I teach is helpful for all areas of playing. I would love to help you learn how to play better!

My best specialty!

As a certified music teacher my lessons help students quickly gain confidence on the trumpet. With my guidance, students become well-rounded musicians able to play their favorite songs, explore new possibilities, make their own music, and take on new challenges!

Welcome to my profile! Throughout the eight years I have spent as a trumpet player, I have developed a firm understanding of musical techniques that range from classical to jazz styles. I would love to deepen my passion for music by sharing my knowledge with you! Our lessons would consist of learning the fundamentals of trumpet playing, sight reading practice, an introduction to music theory. Beginners of all ages welcomed. I cannot wait to begin our time together!

I'm a professional jazz trumpet player who has taught music for 5 years. I am currently based in New York, but I lived in New Orleans for 7 years, where I specialized in playing New Orleans style jazz. I taught elementary band in New Orleans for 3 years, and I'm currently working on a Master's in Music Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. I love working on jazz styles, improvisation, and trumpet technique. I especially love working with students to improve their endurance!
