Trumpet Lessons in Herriman, UT

Instruments: Trumpet

I began teaching students during my undergraduate degree. I've taught over 50 students, grades ranging from 6-12, throughout my undergrad degree. My goal in the music profession is to become a trumpet professor at the collegiate level and have my own trumpet studio. In my lessons, I focus on all aspects of your trumpet skills: technique, musicality, sight reading, and tone to name a few. I encourage my students to establish a normal practice routine in order to optimize their trumpet skills to the fullest. Read More

For young beginners, I recommend starting with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for Band. Once the student has grasped the fundamentals, we will introduce solo pieces appropriate for the child's skill level and purposes (preparing for a performance vs learning for fun, for example).

For all students, I will do a fair amount of playing be ear and call and response in hopes to avoid an unhealthy association with printed high notes, which is a very common occurrence for trumpet players. I will prescribe various books or exercises from books such as Arbans, H. L. Clarke Technical Studies, Chris Gekker's Slow Practice, Getchell Book of Etudes, Concone Compete Solfeggi, I Reccomend, Allen Vizzutti Trumpet Method Book, Vincent Cichowicz Long Tones and Flow Studies, Bai Lin Lip Flexibilities, James Thompson's Buzzing Basics, Saint Jacome, Bousquet, Charlier, and others as I see fit for the student.
