Trumpet Lessons in Roselle Park, NJ

Instruments: Trumpet

For all beginning students, I like to start out with buzzing exercises and embouchure technique. This is the most fundamental part of brass playing.

Once these fundamentals start to become comfortable, I like to introduce some simple songs to apply the new techniques to. Read More

I began teaching trumpet lessons while I was in high school. I kept a small studio through college, and currently have several students.

I have found in my time teaching that everyone learns differently. Each student deserves personalized attention because every one has differences in what concepts come naturally, what is difficult to grasp, and how ideas are best understood. Read More

Teaching has been a regular part of my life since my undergraduate days.

At this time, I also ran a private studio with around a dozen trumpet students. As part of my music education degree, I completed my student teaching at the high school level and find extreme joy from teaching groups of students. Read More

As for the method I use to teach trumpet, it varies according to each person. It will depend on the age, the previous musical knowledge that the student has, as well as the musical genre that you want to learn.

In the case of adults, the musical level and the genre that you want to perform are evaluated and based on that, the method to be taught is chosen. Read More
