Trumpet Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Trumpet, Bass Guitar

I put an emphasis on proper buzzing techniques for new trumpet students as well as the right warm-up exercises. On any instrument I teach, I will stress the importance of knowing all your scales.

I suggest to new band students to use Standard of Excellence by Bruce Pearson. Read More

I have various methods of teaching, all tailored to each students' strengths. However, all students will learn to be musicians and by becoming one, students will develop their personal styles and unique musical signature all while being coached in proper musical training. As each student learns to be a musician, they will also learn purpose in music which is the drive that will allow them to be successful.

For young beginners, I make use the method book that is being used at their school as well as supplying materials specifically for their instrument.
