My name is Jamelle. I am a New Orleans born musician/educator. I have a Bachelors of Music Education degree from Loyola University (New Orleans) as well as a Master's degree in Jazz Studies from the University of New Orleans. I've worked intensively in music education programming for young people. I've have recently relocated to the Los Angeles area.
I started teaching in 2002 after recieving my Bachelor of Music Eduaction from Loyola University. Since then, I have taught at the elemtary, secondary and university levels.
My teaching method is specifically caterd for each student. Each and every student is different. There are 7 main pillars of trumpet technique: Sound, Flexibility, Articulation, Agility, Range, Endurance and Musical Interpretaion. I use a combination of the following methods to consturct a balanced practice routine: The Essential Elements series (for beginners)Schlossberg Daily Drills James Stamp Arban's Clarke
It is my true belief that a great teacher is seeking to master of his/her craft. I have studied the trumpet for 22 years and everyday I learn something new. I try to do 2 simple things in a lesson: Model and Motivate.
