Trumpet Lessons Reno County, NV

Instruments: Trumpet, French Horn

I started teaching horn in 1976 and have taught ever since. Students are to perform not only a recital if possible or play a solo as part of a musical program but to play in a musical organization if possible. My teaching began teaching in the US Army with under performing horn players with technique, hand positioning and air control. The instruction continued through 19 years as an enlisted Army musician. Two years was in active duty service in Europe. Read More

For beginning students, I prefer to use the Bastien piano method.

Each level comes with a recital book, a arepertoire book, and a theory book for students to write in. The solo repertoire book is exciting because it showcases the child's ability to interpret concepts learned in the lesson book. Read More

Firstly, I believe that relationships are everything when it come to effective teaching. With every session, my goal is to progress a positive student-teacher relationship that allows the student to feel safe, comfortable, and ,most importantly, supported.

Finding that just right balance is one of my top priorities. Read More

My fundamental philosophy is to provide each student with a methodical approach to achieving, developing and maintaining a well balanced set of skills. Beyond the technique of how to make "your best" sound, and the efforts to build skills, I make efforts to instill the concept of "Procedural Memory" in creating, developing and expanding a "complete sense of flow in playing." Have a plan and always play musically. It's "HOW" you practice that counts! Read More
