My teaching experience began about 12 years ago. As a young college student, I was lucky enough to teach beginner students both privately as well as group lessons.

This was an experience like no other, I remember having as many as 10 trumpet students together for group lessons. These students were as young as 7 years old up to 14 years old. Read More
