Piano with Travis P.

Hi, My name is Travis, and I have been playing trumpet for 20+ years. I have been teaching for 10+. I love working with new students, and became more focused on private lessons during my Sophomore year in college. Speaking of which, I earned a Bachelors of Music in Trumpet Performance from the University of Maryland College Park. While there, I played with the Wind Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra and Jazz Band. As each student is different, so is my technique and teaching method. Generally, I have students work through the fundamentals of the instrument including fingerings, embouchure, breathing and scales. Once mastered, the more difficult obstacles such as range, dexterity, repertoire and endurance are approached. I do not work with a set schedule for students, and tailor the lesson plan for the student's growth and practice.
