Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba

Although my primary instrument is trumpet, I am adept at teaching all instruments within the brass family. For beginners, I don't even want to focus on music and notes as much as I like to emphasize the sound.

I like to focus primarily on the fundamentals in the beginning because that only makes it easier as time goes on. Read More

We start at a slower tempo and work each hand individually until the student is comfortable to try both hands. Read More
