Trumpet Lessons in Franklin, TN

Instruments: Trumpet

Before moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 2010, I had taught trumpet lessons for 3 years for many different students. What I found during that time is that every child is different, every child has struggles in one area of music or another and that making progress involves practice and enjoying lesson times. I encourage students to work with the SmartMusic software and seek out music they enjoy to help them stay motivated. Read More

For beginning students I generally use the Suzuki books and have had some training in the method. I don't use a strict Suzuki method but combine it with a more traditional approach by including note reading, scales, etc. I also use the Faber books in conjunction with the Suzuki for piano. For adults I generally give them the option of choosing the music they would like to learn and then try to incorporate some of the technical elements by using scales and Hanon exercises. Read More

For beginner students, I love the Faber primer or Alfred Beginner. Once the students have learned the basics, I play for them several pieces they would want to play for the next recital coming up so they can have an idea of what they like. For Intermediate players, I love the Dozen a Day collection, Hanon, and Alfred books. For teenagers and adults I really want to know specifically the type of music they love and want to play whether it be classical, jazz, pop, RB, etc. Read More
