Private Lessons
Lessons are taught at a rate that both pushes the student and allows the student to develop in an encouraging manner. I do not believe in giving a student exercises that do nothing to build skills necessary to perform. Every exercise and technique presented in a lesson is to develop the student both physically and mentally. Too often I have seen students given exercises that only allow the student to maintain at best. I strive to push a student to the fullest potential that can be achieved in each and every lesson. Many parts of the lesson will be taught in a call and response method so that the student can hear the end result of each exercise. In my own experiences as a player, I have developed the best by playing along side a player that is a strong player rather than playing only by myself. By playing side by side in lessons , the student is able to check the progress made in personal practice each week.
Every lesson includes work in the following areas:
-Warm-Up
-Fundamentals on Air, Finger Dexterity, and Scales
-Technique
-Ear Training
-Sight Reading
-Repertoire
Private Lessons can be given both locally in and around Nashville but also through a live video conference over the internet. If you are interested in "In-home" lessons, contact me and I will work with your schedule to find the best time for you.
Masterclasses
I offer a variety of Masterclasses specific to trumpet as well as classes pertaining to all instruments. I cover every aspect of music from beginning basics of understanding music to audition preparation. I customize each of my masterclasses to fit every student's age, skill level, and ease of comprehension of materials taught. I have a great deal of experience in giving masterclasses at both the Middle School and High School levels.
