Trumpet Lessons Ohio

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, French Horn

If authentic, life-long learning is to occur, and the student seeks to develop respect for the teacher-student dynamic, the craft, and their relation to the musical world around them, the choice whether to accept the invitation must always remain theirs. I will continue on my adventure fueled by love and imagination, determined to make that invitation to relationship as significant, enthralling, and heart-felt as possible. When a student is compelled to RSVP with a yes, no larger inspiration could resound. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Organ, Euphonium

For beginning brass students, I have used Essential Elements 2000, Standard of Excellence, and the Student Instrumental Course. As students become more capable, we move into method books and repertoire written specifically for their instrument. Lessons include a combination of mastering the physical challenges of the instrument and developing musicality. Music to be studied is chosen based on the needs of the student. As students become more advanced, I enjoy involving them in the selection of repertoire to be studied. Read More

As I've said above, my teaching is curtailed to the individual needs of my students. I stress development as a complete musician, and that often includes breaking away from technique to discuss other ideas like music theory, ear training, etc. Most importantly, I can explain difficult concepts in many ways. I am a degreed educator, having studied various learning styles and philosophies. I incorporate techniques from Kodaly, Orff, Suzuki, Dalcroze, Alexander--- each student has different needs.

My lesson styles are geared towards the end goals of the students. As not all students will have the desire to become professional musicians, the ultimate goal is to build lifelong lovers of the arts...and if the student decides that music is a career, then the lessons are geared accordingly. For younger children, the ultimate goal is that their love of the music and instrument will spark their desire for practice and further learning, but that they ENJOY music as an art and experience first.
