I help trumpet players improve tone, range, endurance, and overall confidence through a clear, structured approach that delivers results. I work with beginners, students preparing for auditions, and comeback players rebuilding their chops. Each lesson is tailored to your goals, with a strong focus on fundamentals, musicality, and practical practice habits so you know exactly what to work on between sessions and can make steady progress.
My goal is not only to help you play better, but to develop you into an independent musician with the tools and confidence to keep improving on your own. With over 25 years of teaching and performance experience, I bring both technical skill and real-world insight to every lesson. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance from Fort Lewis College and actively perform throughout the Charlotte region and beyond, including over 20 pit orchestra productions and performances with artists such as The Temptations, Wayne Bergeron, Bob Mintzer, John Fedchock, and Chris Vadala.
Lessons are available in Monroe, North Carolina, online via Zoom, FaceTime, Skype, or Google Meet, and in-home. If you are serious about improving your trumpet playing, I would be glad to help you get there.
