Class Experience
Private Trumpet/Trombone lessons will focus on teaching students basic trumpet or trombone skills and techniques! Students will and learn several different notes and their fingerings and work on music reading skills in order to perform different pieces of music. We will primarily use Essential Elements for Trumpet/Trombone with other method books and exercises sprinkled in. Links/Scans of these resources will be provided to students. Students are expected to have a trumpet or trombone at their first lesson. Please message if you are unsure about where to get an instrument from. Note: The timeline below does not apply to current students moving from Group Lessons to Private Lessons. We will continue on from where we left off in our last lesson. Week 1: Buzzing on the mouthpiece, holding the Trumpet/trombone, and producing the first sound Week 2: The First 3: C, D, E (trumpet) or Bb, C, D (trombone) and Hot Cross Buns Week 3: The Fab Five: G, F, E, D, C (trumpet). F, Eb, D, C, Bb (trombone) Week 4: All Together: Lightly Row and Mary had a Little Lamb

Teacher expertise and credentials
Maryland Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Hello!
I'm Ms. Lexi and I teach of a variety of Instrumental Music classes (winds and strings!) and Pre-K general music.
My first taste of teaching comes from my experience as a Teaching Artist with the BSO's Orchkids Program working with students in schools that rarely offered general or instrumental music programs. It was a gift to meet so many bright, talented, and eager students. For the last several years, I have worked with several elementary and middle schools in the public school system. I have taught beginner and intermediate students to play a variety of band and string instruments.
I believe that every student can learn to love music and play an instrument! It is all about finding the right instrument for the student, discovering the music they love, and reinforcing the habits that work for each individual.
My favorite things to do outside of teaching and music are knitting socks, creek swimming with my mastiff and discovering a great new read at Barnes and Noble.
