Trumpet Lessons West

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Keyboard

My teaching experience first began on the marching band field for my local high school. It admittedly was a welcome challenge, yet it also helped me realize how important music education is to our lives. After that I found myself as an on-site substitute teacher at the Saturday Conservatory of Music in Pasadena, CA. These engagements were all the more based on individual curriculum, and I embraced my most valuable assets, being patience and understanding. Read More

My style of teaching seems to be very relaxed. I never force anything and I always want to give inspiration and motivation to the students. I get more pleasure and comfort knowing that this is something they want to do for themselves and not something I or their parents are forcing them to do. I think this also brings out the best playing and create motivation for the student. When I am teaching I give lots of support and even like to play along to give the student confidence and know that this is something that even I would do in my own practice. Read More

I like to teach to the interests and ability levels of my students. I believe in keeping lessons light and fun, while maintaining a strong emphasis on guiding my students toward becoming musically literate.

I also strive to integrate technology in to my lessons, whether by using iOS apps as teaching supplements, or by monitoring home practice through a "flipped" classroom approach. Read More

I taught high school band and choir as well as K-5 music education for 35 years. In the public school I have directed musical dramas and up to 4 concerts a year with students of all ages.

I did my best to make the lessons fun and my students always looked forward to their weekly music class. Read More
