Trumpet Lessons Sutter County, CA

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba

I've had over nine years of trumpet playing experience, three years of euphonium/baritone experience, and four years of tuba experience. I've taught many students in a formal and informal setting, from one on one sessions to group sessions ranging from two to eight students. I find teaching to be fulfilling and educational for both the student and myself. I have spent these past two years learning as much as I can and I feel like I have a great deal to offer students ranging from a beginning to intermediate level. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Trumpet, Music

My teaching methods depend on the age and the level of the student that I am teaching. If it is a young guitar student in middle school, just getting to the point where they can hold the guard guitar correctly and not have it hurt their fingers when they use the frets is a huge step. If they cant get past the hurting of the fingers enough to develop calluses on the end of their fingers, theyre not going to practice. so I start with the instrument and how we can make the student comfortable with the instrument.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonards Essential Elements book, as well a basic understanding of music.

Music should not be merely stoic, mechanical, repetitive rudiments, paradiddles or scales. These important elements when paired with the mind and heart deliver the extraordinary essence of whomever or whatever is creating it. That expression is music. Music is one of the most unique representation of who we are. It can, but does not have to, represent all that we are. There was undoubtedly more to Mozart then what we perceive in the many works he composed. Read More
