Lessons & Resources
Private Lessons
In addition to my trumpet teaching duties at the SC Governor’s School and Converse University, I teach students of all ages at my home studio located minutes from downtown Greenville.
Many of my young students have held positions in the Carolina Youth Symphony, GCYO, Spartanburg Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, Honors Band, and All-State and All-Region bands.
My primary focus is creating a solid foundation by developing—and understanding—proper playing mechanics, tone, and technique through the use of etudes, solos, various method books, duets, and orchestral and jazz literature.
I teach some weekday afternoons, no weekends. Please contact me for my current fee.
