Trumpet Lessons Suffolk County, VA

Instruments: Trumpet

I enjoy teaching students of various age levels and experiences. I am happy to help upcoming middle school, high school or college students. I tailor my lessons to fit the needs of each student I teach without pushing a student too hard. I try to use feedback from each student to determine and plan out lessons on the trumpet. I have various teaching materials that I am happy to share with my students in the off chance they do not have anything they are currently working on. Read More

I have a dynamic, positive, and passionate teaching style. Each student is able to move at their own pace and focus on their specific needs. Students learn to set their own goals and find what practice strategies work for them. I am very quick to point out successes, even in the very small things. I also create space for students to be themselves and create a little bit. Creativity is one of the highest levels of understanding and it's also fun! Read More

When it comes to my beginning students I like to get them as comfortable with the instrument as possible. Give them the extra time that the band director doesn’t have to explore every inch of their instrument. Breathing, Long tones, counting, and just understanding what it is they are doing. I am very patient and nurturing when it comes to the younger ones. Big kids on the other hand. Read More
