Music Lessons in Selma, CA

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.

Advanced vocal students will always do warm-up exercises. There are certain books that are used that have scales and other things that make warming up artsy. The Vaccai exercise books are the best in that area of training. Whether voice, piano, organ or any other instrument, music theory is important. I will try to imcoporate music theory within each, as it is helpful in many areas, especially for advances students who will have to learn it as they progress in their studies. Read More

I have been working for Fresno Unified for over a year and love teaching students of all ages. There is a great feeling when you can see a student learn and grow and start to "get" it after lots of patience and practice. It goes for any subject, but when a student is struggling learning and instrument and something finally "clicks" it's a great feeling of accomplishment for all involved. Read More
