I am extremely interested in all aspects of the biomechanics of trumpet playing, from breathing to embouchure to tone production to technique.

I try to make bad trumpet players better, and good trumpet players great. Read More

I believe that with 30-45 minutes of daily practice time, any student can see noticeable, continual improvement. Read More
