Trumpet Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Trumpet

I’m a recent graduate from Tarleton State University with a BA in Music and a private lesssons teacher. I have taught private lessons for trumpet for about 4 years from students in the Dublin/Stephenville area in Texas. Performing music is a way to express yourself and bare your soul for everyone to see. I want my students to know what that feels like; it is my goal to help students truly enjoy playing their instrument for themselves. Read More

It was a great honor. Late into highschool I was accepted at the DCI CADETS for 3rd trumpet part. This is the second best drum corp (at the time) in the world out of over a dozen different division 1 corps.

I am an experienced and passionate musician who teaches for the love of music, not for the love of competition. I hold degrees in music education and saxophone from the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater and humanities from California State at Dominguez Hills, as well as a number of year's study in saxophone and jazz improvisation and theory at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in Milwaukee. I have been published through Plank Road Publishing and Music K-8 Magazine and have performed at venues large and small, as well as theatres, festivals and clubs from the Midwest to Florida and ultimately to New Mexico.
