Trumpet Lessons in Magna, UT

Instruments: Trumpet

I began teaching students during my undergraduate degree. I've taught over 50 students, grades ranging from 6-12, throughout my undergrad degree. My goal in the music profession is to become a trumpet professor at the collegiate level and have my own trumpet studio. In my lessons, I focus on all aspects of your trumpet skills: technique, musicality, sight reading, and tone to name a few. I encourage my students to establish a normal practice routine in order to optimize their trumpet skills to the fullest. Read More

Instruments: Voice Trumpet French Horn

Everyone learns and masters music at their own pace. Light bulb moments are the moments for which I live! Nothing says, "I am learning," like seeing a student understand a concept or command a new ability for the first time. I set realistic goals and help guide my students towards their goals. I keep my lessons relaxed but full of energy. A huge fan of positive reinforcement, I do my best to make sure that I give a complement or praise before I make any correction. Read More

For all students, I will do a fair amount of playing be ear and call and response in hopes to avoid an unhealthy association with printed high notes, which is a very common occurrence for trumpet players. I will prescribe various books or exercises from books such as Arbans, H. L. Clarke Technical Studies, Chris Gekker's Slow Practice, Getchell Book of Etudes, Concone Compete Solfeggi, I Reccomend, Allen Vizzutti Trumpet Method Book, Vincent Cichowicz Long Tones and Flow Studies, Bai Lin Lip Flexibilities, James Thompson's Buzzing Basics, Saint Jacome, Bousquet, Charlier, and others as I see fit for the student.
