Instruments: Trumpet

I am a passionate elementary school music educator who can "technically" play most instruments but trumpet was first in my heart when started playing it in 4th grade! I continued with it growing up and all the way through college where I graduated with a bachelor of science in music education K-12. I am currently in my 7th year of teaching elementary general music, chorus, beginner band. I love working with elementary students during their group lessons for band, however, I also enjoy working on higher level trumpet material for middle or high school students who want to prepare for auditions or improve their playing throughout school or their personal music journey!

When it comes to my beginning students I like to get them as comfortable with the instrument as possible. Give them the extra time that the band director doesn’t have to explore every inch of their instrument. Breathing, Long tones, counting, and just understanding what it is they are doing. I am very patient and nurturing when it comes to the younger ones. Big kids on the other hand. Read More

I approach teaching on a student to student basis. Every student has different goals and interests within music and it's important to tailor you lessons accordingly. I go in fresh to any first time lesson and build a plan from there. One student may need to sit down and studying theory and get better grasp of the building blocks of music, another may simply need to play long tones for an hour. Read More

My teaching experience began in college. I quickly realized that I most enjoyed helping people on an individual basis. In addition to performing in myriad musical idioms, I have made a career of private teaching, having conducted over 26,000 lessons since 2001. My performance experience weaves its way into many lessons, as I am able to share “real-life” experiences about the practicality of the material that we study. Many of my students have gone on to become performers, band directors, and scholarship winners. Read More
