Trumpet Lessons Alabama

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, French Horn

I have always had a love for music. It has always been something that I love to do and also share with others. I was involved in music during my high school years, being in both choir and band, and proceeded to earn my music degree from UNA. I have had many opportunities to perform including for the 2014 BOA Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium, and sing for the President of the University of North Alabama. Read More

Most of my lesson plans are customized for each student, depending the style they are interested in, and the level that they are already playing. Generally speaking for beginners, I begin with teaching about the instrument (string names, frets, tuning, etc.). Then we move on to chords, starting with the easiest ones to play. Once they have grasped how the instrument and chords work, we continue on to melodies and simple 3 chord songs. Read More

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a student grow in confidence and develop a genuine love for music. Because every student is unique, I believe it is important that each one progresses at a pace that feels natural and encouraging. I support this by setting clear and achievable goals during each lesson, helping students experience steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. Celebrating accomplishments, both big and small, is a key part of my teaching style. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Cello, Trumpet, Flute, Clarinet, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

For beginning students who have never touched music in their lives (mostly children), I start out with the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements book of their chosen instrument. From there, we learn how to read music, play in time, and play the instrument itself. Once the student feels comfortable with the practices in the book, I move on to introduce solo repertoire to prepare for a recital. Of course, if they are in their school band, we will focus on perfecting their given band music. Read More

My teaching experience has been with trumpet, trombone and euphonium players as a private instructor.  Before joining the navy music program I taught band at a private school in New Jersey called the Netherlands Reformed Christian School.  Also taught at a store "Music Den" in Roxbury Twp., NJ from 1998 to 2002 for four years. While in the navy as a musician I taught private lessons to students interested in playing a brass instrument. Read More
