Trumpet Lessons Shelby County, AL

Instruments: Voice, Trumpet, Drums, Music, Keyboard

My approach to teaching is something that I take very serious. I believe in being the best not being number #1. I love music and want to work with musicians who want to get better and take their music endeavors to the next level. One of my teachers at Jackson State University told us that as a musician you are supposed to get better as the years go by and as you get older you become even stronger if it’s vocals or instrumentals.

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a student grow in confidence and develop a genuine love for music. Because every student is unique, I believe it is important that each one progresses at a pace that feels natural and encouraging. I support this by setting clear and achievable goals during each lesson, helping students experience steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. Celebrating accomplishments, both big and small, is a key part of my teaching style. Read More

I love kids and music and decided to combine the two. Piano lessons from fourth grade through high school furthered my love for instruments.

I taught my first lesson 5 years ago when I was an under graduate. I began teaching guitar to the public part time at age 19 in the music department of my community college. From there, I went on to a university and continued to teach guitar, bass, and voice while I finished up on getting my performance degree. Ironically enough, some of the best lessons I ever learned in music school weren't even how to play, it was how to teach. Read More

I focus on a skills based learning regimen. I often start beginners out without using a book, just learning to make the instrument perform before we add the complexities of music notation to the mix. With more advanced students I work on the small details of mastering the instrument, and translate that into performance. I favor method books that drill the student in those details, and add solo material for variety and to introduce different performance styles. Read More
