Trumpet Lessons in Norkirk. Amazing Teachers.

I started teaching in 1998 at the K=
ennelly Keys in Everett and Bigfoot music in Smokey Point in 1999. I starte=
d the year 2000 at the Mills Music in Monroe. My youngest student has been =
a 4 years old.
=C2=A0I played trumpet in school=C2=A0 from 5th grade on and was the first =
chair in the 9th grade Orchestra in seventh grade. I took trumpet lessons a=
t Kennelly Keys at Arts Food Center on Holman Road in Seattle. Roy Kennelly
told me at the time that if I wanted to be a musician that I would have to=
get used to playing the same thing over and over again. I took that to hea=
rt and try to impart the same type of philosophy to my students.
I periodically take trumpet lessons in the Seattle area to brush up on my c=
hops and also to learn new ways of Teaching.

From the melodies in an ensemble to solo playing, trumpet is a shining star in the brass family. We'll start from the basics and get you playing your favorite songs soon!

I have twenty years in musicianship as a trumpet player myself and five years of experience in teaching music. Each lesson is designed to cater to the needs of the student and provide them with the skills to advance as a successful musician. Each lesson is customized and the students will learn subjects such as sight reading, ear training, musical theory and more.

lessons will focus on whatever skills the student is interested in learning. I can help with all aspects of trumpet playing: efficiency of playing, tone quality, range, endurance, improvisation, tonguing, etc. I can teach everyone; from absolute beginners through musicians that are serious about pursuing trumpet as a career.

As a part of my music education certification, I am trained to teach beginner levels in all brass instruments.

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!
