Trumpet is one of my top subjects! The trumpet is a member of the brass instrument family. It has 3 valves and is a transposing instrument. Most trumpets are in the key of B flat which means a C played on the trumpet sounds like a D played on the piano. It reads treble clef and has an instrument range from F sharp below middle C to C two octaves above middle C. Skilled trumpet players can play even higher notes.

I am from Somerset, NJ, and I started playing piano when I was in middle school. For 13 years, I've continued to play and pursue my career in music education. I've taught children as young as four years old to adult students as well. For adults, it's never too late to learn a new skill.  It has been my passion and goal in life to share with others the joy that I got from learning music. Being an educator, the greatest success is knowing that you've made a positive difference in a child's life.
