The Two Work Best Together
Band gives students the experience of being part of an ensemble.
Private lessons give them the individual instruction they need to become a stronger player within that ensemble.
Lessons Built Around the Individual
Every student's needs are different. To see more detail about how I teach students at their level, please visit my View Curriculum pageThe Goal is Independence
A good teacher can help a student become a better trumpet player.
A great teacher also teaches the student how to become their own teacher.
My goal is for students to eventually recognize, diagnose, and solve problems without needing me to tell them what to do.
Lessons aren’t just about becoming a better trumpet player. They’re about learning how to become a self-directed musician.
