I have had the pleasure of working alongside Leon for ten plus years in many musical situations. Including the education side. His dedication to music playing and education is unsurpassed. Leon will treat your lessons with responsibility and respect. You will you become a better musician if you give him your time and energy. Leon has a vast knowledge of tools in his arsenal to help you reach your full potential. You will also have fun working with him. I personally have learned a great deal in just being a friend and colleague of Leon's. Also he is one of the coolest dudes you will ever meet in your life!

Had the pleasure of touring with Leon in Europe, I found him to be very focused but relaxed and cool to be around on and off stage as he naturally makes one feel at ease.
He is a consummate professional and a wonderful ambassador of New Orleans Culture & Musicianship and as a result he has been well received by audiences internationally.
I am a professional vocalist of 25 years experience based in the UK and feel I learnt a great deal in his company and can highly recommend Leon Brown Snr.
A natural communicator and teacher in workshop and performance

I am proud and honored to be a friend and fellow musician of Leon Brown's.

He is an excellent trumpet player with an excellent knowledge of trumpet theory, performance and technique. You will find him committed and sincere.

I have known Leon for several years and I am proud to be a friend and musical connection of his! He is a gentleman, a professional, a motivated, perseverant and focused individual. He possesses a superior talent and can be counted on to be committed and reliable. I have been impressed by his performance abilities and knowledge of music in general and New Orleans jazz history in particular. I would recommend him to anyone for trumpet theory, performance and technique.

Leon Brown is an extremely talanted trumpet player and just as talanted educator. I have been working with Mr Brown since the late 90's his technical command of the instrument and knowledge of musical theory is A+. I highly recommend Leon as a musical instructor for beginners to advanced. He has great patience and is an excellent instructor.

I started to listen to Leon play back in 2002, on Sundays, at the Spotted Cat bar in New Orleans with Rob Block. Those nights were magical! I have followed his career since then, and I have to say that Leon is one of the very best, most knowledgeable, more nuanced trumpet players in New Orleans!

Leon Brown is great trumpet player, teacher of life and role model. Whether it's New Orleans music and/or trumpet technique, Leon will share the tools needed to get where you desire. I've also performed with Leon on numerous occasions and have always been impressed by his musicality and style, as well as his harmonic ideas.

Great guy to learn from!

I heard Leon Brown play since many years. He is a quiet person. On the trumpet, Leon takes care to get a beautiful tone. On a the music side, Leon is full of respect for the roots. So, I think Mr Leon Brown has all the needed qualities to be an helpful teacher!

Mr. Brown has been instructing my son in playing New Orleans style jazz music over the last two years. He inspires my son to practice and work on the necessary fundamentals of performance while also having fun with improvisation and other jazz techniques. With Mr. Brown's guidance, my son has earned the first chair position in his high school band. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are a beginner or an advanced musician, studying with this Grammy Award winning artist will help you reach the next level on your musical journey.
