Trumpet Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Trumpet, Bass Guitar

When I was in high school, I was the trumpet section leader for three years, which entailed lots of teaching in terms of marching. I also started giving music lessons to other students, starting with my friends. Giving music lessons spread from there. Since then, I've taught many students how to play guitar, bass guitar, and trumpet. Most of these students only needed a couple lessons to perfect a specific technique or to just get started.

Any beginning method book will be great such as, Tradition of Excellence or one of the Essential books as long as the student gets practice reading. Read More

Older beginners start with Alfred's All In One Piano Course. For adults, I find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly. Read More
