Trumpet Lessons West

Instruments: Guitar, Trumpet, Music

I have been pursuing a strong passion for music since I was 10 years old. Five decades later that passion is stronger than ever, and now includes a strong commitment to music education. I have been very fortunate in my musical career to have the opportunity to study and work with hundreds of brilliant musicians and play multiple genres in multiple settings across the Midwest and the West Coast. I have shared a stage with a few stars, but I have always personally been more focused on being the proverbial side-man than being the center of attention. Read More

I, Michael G. Turner, breathe through music. My love for music began at a very early age and I was blessed to realize, very soon, that it was my passion.I began performing at the age of 13 on clarinet, in voice, and on drums and percussion. Most of my early performance experience was obtained in church, school, and in my older brothers' Top 40 band.

I really try to work with the student with where they are at or where they want to go with their music. I was a slow learner on piano, so I can understand how confusing and frustrating it can be at times to learn an instrument. I really work to make sure that the students under stand the basics because that will outlast me when I am long gone from their life. Read More
