Study Trumpet in a Fun and Relaxed Environment
The trumpet is a wonderful and expressive instrument. However, it can be difficult to truly master without proper, individualized instruction.
As a teacher, I pride myself in not only creating customized learning plans for each student but also developing a rapport with them and tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and goals. From wanting to learn a new skill in retirement to studying music at a collegiate level, I have helped students of varying ages and abilities discover the magic of trumpet, and I'd be happy to help you achieve your goals as well.

About Travis P.
4.7
(9)
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.

Travis does a great job! I noticed an improvement after the first lesson my son had with him.

Travis is a wonderful, encouraging & enthusiastic teacher. My son (10) loves going there. He learns a lot and progresses quite quickly - and at the same time it’s always fun.

Travis was great. He paced the lesson right for my daughter and started instilling some fundamentals that she was missing. He is kind and friendly. And a great musician!
