Trumpet with Clint M.

I have taught low brass for over 20 years. Originally from northern CA, I have taught throughout the United States as well as Europe, both individuals and groups. To name a few groups, I have taught for the Velvet Knights Drum and Bugle Corps, the San Francisco Renegades, the Sacramento Mandarins, Granite Bay High School, Roseville High School, Oakmont High School and Orange Lutheran High School. I have experience teaching all ages and levels of experience, from absolute beginner to pro. *** Lesson Details *** I generally focus on a fundamentals approach to playing--basic technique being the foundation of everything we play.  I believe that the student should learn basic music theory along with their instrumental technique in order to become more rounded musicians.  With performance being the goal of every instrumentalist, I push towards public concerts throughout the year, both with groups and in solo and small ensemble situations.  I work at getting into what helps YOU to learn, as each student learns differently and each student responds to music in their own way. *** Studio Equipment *** I don't have any studio equipment other than basic recording abilities. *** Travel Equipment *** I provide no equipment. They are to have an instrument, music stand, tuner and metronome. *** Specialties *** Orchestral and band styles, including classical, jazz, rock, pop, ska.
