I tend to use standard materials, especially for beginning players. But I will also mix in exercises and techniques tailored specifically to the students needs.

I love sharing my knowledge of trumpet and music with students as well as inspiring creativity and the desire to learn.

There are countless method books to choose from and most of them leave out the most important details of how to actually practice and get results. Read More

One of my strengths as a teacher is being able to adapt to wide variety of learning styles and skill levels. I don't teach all my students the exactly same way, because not all students learn in the same way. I am all about creating a fun, positive learning environment. I am proud of the fact that many of my students I have today I have had since I started teaching, and I think a big part of that is the relaxed but productive learning environment I strive to create.

Hello, I began teaching professionally 9 years ago in my home studio. I first started with guitar lessons. I am very passionate about aiding and supporting the growth of students.

Students are then able to learn classical, jazz, blues, rock, and popular music. Read More
