As I teach, I learn—both about the instrument or voice and about the style (both musical and teaching) that interests or motivates the student. While I have a basic method in lessons with certain techniques, exercises, and repertoire to be drilled and mastered, I will try to adapt and modify my approach for the needs and personality of the student. In addition to the areas mentioned in the checklist, I also teach conducting (choral and instrumental) and music theory. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

For beginner students, I will start by first teaching them the basic techniques of trumpet playing(i.e. proper breathing, posture, instrument holding, and buzzing techniques). After going through the basic techniques of trumpet playing, I will have my student work out the Sound Innovations for Concert Band method book. Once my student completely learns the first Sound Innovation method book and gets a grasp over the fundamentals of trumpet playing, I will introduce them to trumpet exercise books such as the Vizzutti, Arbans, and Clarke books among others to build upon the fundamental techniques that they have already developed.
