Trumpet Lessons in Cowpens. Amazing Teachers.

Hello and welcome to my studio!

In my studio, all trumpet players feel welcomed and I will do my best to keep you/your child happy and having fun while taking lessons.

Your first lesson begins with breathing exercises as we need air to play trumpet. Proper posture, embouchure for playing, and making a nice sound will come next. I have several method books depending on your trumpet experience, but if you already have a book we can use yours. We will also work on the more detailed aspects of trumpet playing such as articulations and range (yay high notes!), while learning new songs!

If you are already a more advanced student, we will work on music that pushes you to a higher level (Clarke, Arbans, Real Book etc.). I will also give you more detailed and advanced concepts to remove excess tension, play more musically instead of robotically, and overall make playing feel much easier.

I'm glad you have decided to take trumpet lessons and look forward to helping you make great music! ...

I am using a different approach with every student of mine based of their level and unique strengths. My goal is to motivate and inspire my students so they can achieve the highest level desired. I play with each student at every lesson and use many of the finest trumpet method books such as: Arban, Clarke, Stamp, Schlossberg, Cichowicz.etc.. As a result my students are winning Palm Beach- All County Honor Band, Florida- All State Honor Band as well as going to semi-finals and finals on National Trumpet Competition.

The last four years I have been playing worship music for church services in Houston and Austin, TX. I feel like the Lord wants me to now teach the younger generation how to worship God with instruments. I started playing the trumpet in 6th grade and I was in the high school band for five years. I was in the All-Region Band every year from 7th grade through 12th grade and I once made it to Area while in high school. I play primarily hymns, but I am open to adding select anointed praise and worship songs. I think that hymns are a good starting place for those learning to worship God, since they are shorter songs and easier to play rather than something more lengthy and complicated. I'm very patient and I'm a trained and certified teacher as I used to teach and tutor high school science previously. Playing an instrument and worshiping God is something that should be fun and enjoyable, but also involves practice and hard-work. I look forward to working with you and your child, so

Strong instrumental playing begins with a solid understanding of the fundamentals of music and the simple act of making a sound from the instrument. Students learn to play music by ear first, and are later introduced to music notation. More advanced lessons emphasize sight-reading, expression, and improvisation.
