I'm receiving my Master Degree in trumpet performance at Brigham Young University. I received my undergraduate degree in music education from Stephen F. Austin State University. I'm well versed in many different styles of music including jazz, rock, and classical. Teaching trumpet is my favorite passion and I take extreme pride in watching my students grow through lessons. I've had a lot of competition experience competing in both the National Trumpet Competition and the International Trumpet Guild. I believe joining competitions help you become a better performer and give you a lot of performance experience.
I began teaching students during my undergraduate degree. I've taught over 50 students, grades ranging from 6-12, throughout my undergrad degree. My goal in the music profession is to become a trumpet professor at the collegiate level and have my own trumpet studio. In my lessons, I focus on all aspects of your trumpet skills: technique, musicality, sight reading, and tone to name a few. I encourage my students to establish a normal practice routine in order to optimize their trumpet skills to the fullest.
My beginner students use the Essential Elements book. With that book, you can learn fundamentals in trumpet technique as well as counting. For all other students, I use the Herbert L. Clarke Technical Studies book and selections from the Arban's Conservatory Method. We cover a lot of etudes and techniques from the Arban's book. I also believe collaboration is important in lessons so often we will play duets together in lessons. This helps establish a more cognitive understanding of the instrument through using your ears and adjusting to what you hear.
I love watching my students grow. I believe in making my students think to get the answers they are looking for. I am not a fan of "rote learning" so my lessons tend to include a large amount of cognitive thinking by me constantly asking questions and making you pay attention to your own playing habits. One of the biggest mistakes I notice younger players make is getting into a groove and not listening to what they're playing. Because of this, a lot of problems that can easily be fixed go overlooked by the student and hinder their over all progress. My goal is to make you aware of these.
