Leo B.

1 Trumpet lesson

My son is currently in high school and has been playing the trumpet since he was in 6th grade. He was actively performing and competing until the pandemic hit; so just like everyone else, he had to play and practice online. We have since been searching for a Jazz trumpet instructor; and thankfully, we found Pasha K. on Wyzant online. Pasha has the experience and qualifications of an excellent Jazz trumpet teacher. He is quick to respond, works a flexible schedule, and charges a reasonable rate.

Samuel C.

9 Trumpet lessons

For starter, my trumpet pistons were not installed in the correct position. Jonathan pointed out that I might want to check that, and he was right. As soon as I fixed that, I started to sound a little better. So props to Jonathan for that. There are. a lot of new things Jonathan taught me that I couldn't learn from just watching youtube videos. Jonathan correctly diagnosed what i am doing wrong, and gave me the better/efficient ways to play the trumpet.

Keith B.

1 Trumpet lesson

I am an absolute beginner on trumpet. I wanted to play when the Saints go marching in. He was patient and helpful. He showed me that playing in a different key would be easier and it was he also assisted with the embouchre. I would be comfortable to recommend him to others. The trumpet is not the easiest instrument to learn, but I am progressing with the start that he assisted me with.
