Trumpet Lessons in Petersburg, MI

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet

There are quite a few method books that I like to use with my students. To start, I like to have students use the Beginner Rubank Method Book (the blue book) and work through this to get the basics down.

Being a music education student, I learn about many methods of teaching that can cater to a variety of different people and musicians.
