Trumpet Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Trumpet, Recorder, French Horn

In all classes it is essential to establish a technique routine that let students grown up quickly in musical performance. Scales, arpeggios, articulations, intensities, and specific elements to each one instrument have to be part of daily routine. It is important too to maintain motivation and inspiration through interesting musical pieces to the learner and that represents challenges to go step by step. In French Horn classes (my main speciality, beginners to advance level) beginners can start with methods as First Steps for Horn (Brown), Rubank elementary, The French Horn Step by Step (Macri), Maxime Alphonse, Kopprash, Kling.

For each lesson, I begin with a 5 to 10 minute warmup before moving on to the student's assigned music.  I like to alternate between actual performance/practicing, and teaching concepts including music theory.  I also wrap-up every lesson by spending 5 minutes in review with the student, going over what they need to practice in the coming week ahead.

My goal is to create life-long learners, so you may always find time for practice and a place to perform great music! I provide private music instruction each week teaching lessons on a variety of instruments and have even served as a substitute teacher, as well as performing with various bands and ensembles over the years. I am originally from New York, where I lived until I was almost 7. I then lived approx. 7 years each in: Northern California, North Carolina, and Southern New Jersey respectively. Read More

I encourage students to do their absolute best but to not push themselves too hard. When you're learning an instrument, it's not always going to be easy. It's important that students can still have fun when they're learning. That's why I give music to students that I know can be accomplished. When a student encounters a difficult series of notes or rhythms, I will break it down and help to make it more understandable. Read More

I have over twenty years experience teaching music students of all ages. I started teaching music students in 1986 at a Jr. High/High School and prepared all choral students for both solo and ensemble festivals and large group competitions. I also prepared vocal jazz ensembles, and other larger instrumental and vocal ensembles for competition, thoroughly enjoying the sharing of their talents and pulling out the best music they had to offer.
