Music Lessons in White Plains, MD

Instruments: Trumpet

My experiences as a teacher have been vital to my growth as a musician and a person for the past few years.  Upon my start of graduate school, I began teaching in the place of a local New Jersey trumpeter who was busy out of the country.  Each student had their own unique personality and skills, ranging in age from 9 to 17.  This opportunity also allowed me to work with special needs students.

All lessons are tailored to each students ability level, with the goal of creating specific, achievable objectives to foster a successful environment. Students tend to enjoy working on what they are passionate about, so I am interested in finding where a students musical passion exists, and incorporating it into lesson plans and assignments. I do not tolerate shortcuts, but rely on positive reinforcement to encourage students to develop their skills thoroughly. Read More

I am very easy to work with and incorporate FUN into my lessons. My primary goal is to see my students enjoying music and liking what they are doing. This will get them to work more towards their goals as they grow through adolescence and into high school and college. Since each student is different I try to focus on reading their reactions to the material in order to to determine what they are understanding and what they are not. Read More

I am a passionate, thoughtful and motivated instructor who loves to work with students and help them reach their full musical potential.

Lesson style is fresh, fun and includes an objective of what the student can expect to accomplish by the end of that lesson. I am enthusiastic and like students to come away from every lesson feeling like they have something to show! When lesson begins, we get right down to it. After older material is reviewed, we begin on the current lesson. Afterward, I ask my students to write down their assignment in their Assignment Log. Read More
