From there, I get them playing songs that they recognize, teaching both by ear and with a method book.

Instruments: Trumpet

Again, my teaching style reflects my own experience. I learned the most from the teachers that recognized that the trumpet is an incredibly phisical instrument and each player brings a different physique to the instrument.
