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.  Outside of a trumpet studio, I have taught marching band and music business to high school students through a non-profit company known as The Musicainship.  This program focuses on the musical enrichment of the lives of local at risk youth.

For young beginners, I start off with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements, as they are probably already working in this book if they are in bad at school.  Outside of that, I'll typically incorporate key beginning excercises from the Arban's Book to help develop the students sound and chops.  This was how my first teacher taught me, and I found his methods extremely helpful in my early years.  Once they're fundamentals are developed, I will begin to work on the students first recital.  As for adults, I customize the lesson depending on their interest and skill level.  However, technique building is the foundation of each lesson.
