Instruments:

Instruments:
My specific methods of private study vary depending on the student's level of experience and willingness to learn. For new and young trumpet players I typically start them with Accent of Achievement or Essential Elements so that they can focus on rudimentary performance skills. Once the fundamentals have a solid presence in the student's performance we will move to Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet. This will serve as an eternal resource to the aspiring trumpet player. Following this, when the student exhibits a deeper understanding of the fundamentals and begins to express interest in soloistic performance practice we will move into a divided study of specific performance skills including: Articulation, Breathing, Flexibility, Transposition, Dexterity, and Orchestral Excerpts. Beyond this students will be assigned solo pieces to apply these techniques to as well as to assist in developing those skills. Pages from these various books/studies can be provided.
Instruments:
My philosophy is that everyone benefits from music instruction, especially percussion. No matter whether one's goal is to be a professional musician, or one simply wants to try something new, almost everyone enjoys the act of music-making! Having said that, every individual is unique, and I work with each person to determine what works best for his or her desires and abilities. While one student may dive right into rudiments and reading, another may benefit best from relaxed, organic, and gradual activities that lead to a greater comfort with the learning experience. Every student is different, and every student will receive instruction tailored for his or her needs.
Instruments:
Even though I received my Masters degree in Trumpet Performance 30 years ago I have remained an active player in classical, big band, musical theater and church settings and enjoy sharing my experience and teaching backgrounds to inspire and motivate trumpet students of all ages. While music is not my vocation I have enjoyed playing and teaching privately as my avocation/hobby for more than 30 years. My wife is a retired elementary school music teacher and both my children are involved in music as well.
Instruments:
My style of teaching is fun and very laid back with the proper structure. I am extremely versatile and able to teach all styles of music including classical, pop, r&b, rock, alternative, country, christian, gospel, jazz, and musical theater. With my extensive knowledge and fun unique curriculum, my goal is to inspire and guide students properly with my effective way of teaching. I encourage my students to set goals for themselves and we work on striving to achieve progress one step at a time! Once students develop their passion and desire to learn more, lessons become more enjoyable!
