Music Lessons in Rosemead, CA

Instruments: Trumpet Music

Young students begin their instrumental journey with some basic theory lessons while we simultaneously explore the physicality of playing trumpet. From there, we begin learning fundamentals--exercises on the instrument, with breathing, and mental practice--which are reviewed with the student from beginner to professional. Solo repertoire and etude-work will be assigned to give the student the practice of performance but also to challenge and assess them on specific aspects of their journey on the instrument.

I currently teach online and remotely, play with multiple local L.A. bands, and frequently perform in live and studio setting. Read More

Keeping them engaged in the world of music is my main goal. Always to encourage them to keep pushing towards new boundaries. I remember my early piano teacher was terrible. It greatly damaged my passion for piano, which I regained many years later. I understand that a teaching position is not an easy one. We as professors, are the key to help the students find their own voices and not make them feel judged based on comparison or skills. Read More

It is very important for me that students not only take away something from each lesson, but also enjoy coming to lessons. I try to always acknowledge students' improvements and be encouraging. I understanding sometimes lessons can be stressful or not so interesting, so I try different ways to teach and guide my students so the process of learning is enjoyable.
