    Mastering the Trumpet: New and Returning Students!

    The Trumpet is an exciting, expressive instrument and I am joyful to be a part of some truly spectacular results from my students! My lesson plans are designed for all ability levels ranging from complete beginner to professional performer. They will help you with tuning, range, endurance, rhythm, but most importantly keep your chops (lips) in healthy condition (no-one wants to hurt after playing music!) I promise results. My Trumpet students learn songs they have always wanted while learning how to sound great. - Proper breathing/compression - Playing resonant without playing louder - Articulation styles - Range development (Low and High notes) - Personal interpretation - Brass maintenance routines - Live performance tips - Lead/Jazz/Big Band music - Classical solo/Concert Band/Wind ensemble repertoire - Simple-to-Complex Rhythms - Soloing over chords/modes - Flexibility All my students learn: - Sight reading - Music Theory - Ear training

    About Andrew G.

    (47)
    Hello and welcome to my studio! As a music educator, I facilitate a safe, welcoming environment for students to learn and attain their goals. My students grow their creative capabilities by exploring music that challenges them to become better musicians. I incorporate music that you want to play such as pop, classical, jazz while still going over the fundamentals of your instrument. I also encourage questions during lessons so you can gain the most out of lessons and have fun improving at music! If you are interested in auditioning for competitive groups, I teach not only the music for the audition, but the process of auditioning and how to overcome any nervousness or stress. This process has helped my students win All State, All County, and youth orchestra positions. All this being said, I'm glad you have decided to take lessons and look forward to helping you create great music! Click on “View Lesson Packages” to your right to book lessons with me, but if you still have questions, click “Ask Andrew a Question” and I will get back to you quickly. Let's get started!
