a great teacher and fun

I had a lot of fun on my lesson. I learned a lot and I learned about different types of trumpets and it was a great experience and I definitely recommend Mr. Troy. I am 12 and just beginning to play trumpet.

Great first lesson!

His is a great and fun instructor. My 12 year old had a blast and is extremely excited to keep learning trumpet. He was also very patient with the seemingly 10,000 questions my son threw at him.

Amazing first lesson. Troy is extremely adept at connecting with kids. Greatly appreciate his enthusiasm and passion. We feel very fortunate.
Thank you Troy!

Troy is a lifesaver! It didn’t take him long at all to get to know my son and help him learn foundational trumpet skills. This is the boost that my son needed!
