Trumpet with Justin A.

There are many fantastic players out there in the world, but being a great teacher takes more than just good playing. While I've had experience playing in Los Angeles with schools, as a side musician, and with my own band- my passion for teaching and helping students grow is truly what I'd like to sell to you. I am working on my Bachelor's of Music in Jazz Studies and have studied with some phenomenal players/teachers that had a true passion for teaching music. Dr. James Ford III from CSULA who plays is the Grammy Award winning group the Clayton Hamilton Orchestra, Mike Cottone, a Monk Institute alum that most recently toured with the Eagles, and Kevin Brown a fantastic classic trumpet player that played with the LA Phil for two years. As a student myself I can bring the experience of immensely successful teachers to supplement my own passion to our lessons for a fraction of the price.
