includedClass Experience
This class is for beginners who have never played the trumpet, or have only been playing for a short period of time. 1 - We will assess where you are on your trumpet journey, where you want to go, and how we are going to get you there. We will also get to make a sound on the instrument! 2 - Students will learn about the importance of air flow and posture. We will begin doing some simple exercises that will get you playing with a good tone quality. 3 - You will be introduced to sheet music! We will go over some basic notes on the trumpet and how to read them. 4 - We will continue reading sheet music and introduce rhythm. We will also continue doing exercises to keep your chops strong and healthy. 5 - This week we will work on reading simple songs and bringing them to life with rhythm, articulation, and dynamics. Students will be assigned practice routines to develop their control over dynamics and articulation.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to produce a sound on the trumpet, proper trumpet fingerings, how to read sheet music, and how to have a great time with the coolest instrument ever invented!

Hello! My name is Andrew and I'm a music teacher and professional musician. I offer private lessons on brass instruments like Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, French Horn, and Tuba. I have been teaching music for the last 7 years and performing as a professional for the last 10 years. I've played hundreds of shows in front of thousands of people and I want to show others how they can do the same. My goal is to provide my students with a strong fundamental skill set that allows them to operate independently as musicians. I teach my students to not only play their instruments and read notes off of a page, but to be well rounded musicians capable of expressing themselves creatively. My classes are specialized in teaching brass instruments, but much of what I teach can be applied to all areas of music. I believe that children are exceptionally capable and have the potential to achieve far more than what we are given in the public schooling system. I truly love teaching and watching my students flourish when they realize what an incredible art form they are involved in. In short, I don't merely want to teach your child how to play their instrument - I want to teach them how to become a musician who plays their chosen instrument. I'm so happy to have the opportunity to share my love of music with the world, we are truly living in an amazing time.
Focus, enthusiasm, and work ethic will be required in my classes.
