Lessons

I offer lessons in trumpet technique, improvisation, arranging, composition, as well as music theory.

Lessons are both in person and over Zoom. If you are in NYC, I can come to you!

Here are some credentials:

Technique/improvisation: I have been fortunate to receive numerous awards such as winning the 2021 Army Blues Solo competition, placing 2nd in the Ryan Anthony Memorial trumpet competition, and being a top 5 finalist in the 2021 International Trumpet Guild Carmine Caruso Jazz Trumpet Competition.

My teachers include Jon Faddis, Caleb Hudson, Ingrid Jensen, Philip Dizack, Scott Wendholt, and others.

Arranging/Composition: During my time with the Grammy Nominated One O’Clock Lab Band, I wrote several compositions and arrangements. Two of which are featured on the album “Lab 2021”. My composition, “Cool Kids”, is the most played song on the album and is currently #3 on their Spotify page.

Theory/Harmony: I have a BM in Jazz studies from the University of North Texas and a MM in Jazz Trumpet from the Manhattan School of Music. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout my entire college career.

Lessons are $75 an Hour and $40 for a half hour.

I understand price can sometimes be a challenge, so I am happy to work with you as needed.
