Trumpet is one of my top subjects! Over 20 years playing and performance experience. Over 10 years of teaching experience.

I have over 20 years' playing and performance experience. While I am no longer an active performer on trumpet, I have over 10 years' teaching experience. In addition to performing well in their school bands, my students have received "Excellent" ratings in Solo & Ensemble competitions and have performed with MTSBOA All-County and Mid-State Honor Bands.
I believe in tailoring each lesson to each student's individual abilities and learning methods. For students in school bands, I try to provide lessons that augment and complement what they learn in band class, focusing on areas of performance that may not receive attention in a group setting. For all my students, regardless of level or instrument, I help them learn music that they want to learn, while making sure they get the fundamental training that they need. I encourage and assist my students in finding opportunities to perform ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. The joy of helping others get a true understanding of course work is priceless. I love working with children of all ages, as well as collegiate students. I have an abundance of patience, multiple ways to explain single concepts, and innovative ways to help familiarize the student to concepts. Learning is essential to education, and education is essential for productive living. My hope as an instructor is that all my students gain understanding and an increased interest in the subject being taught. I have made a world a difference in many students lives in the past, and I will continue to make a difference in the future.
As a college graduate at both the bachelorette and master’s level, I am a very focused on education of myself and others. I have a BS in Mathematics and ME in Environmental Engineering. Earning these degrees gave me an ext ... read more

I have always told my classes, "Learning can be fun; and if it's not, you may not be doing it right." Of course, that does not mean learning isn’t work; but part of growing up – and selecting a career – is learning that work can be enjoyable. I should mention that it is not my way to enforce memorization for the sake of it. If you understand concepts, that is much better. I always say “an example is the embodiment of a rule”. I am always committed to a student’s success; and will not let him or her give up. The biggest thrill in teaching is watching a student suddenly understand a concept. It happens frequently, and it never gets old.
For four years I taught in private schools, where I gave instruction at the middle and high school levels in English, French, Hebrew, computer programming, and office applications (spreadsheets, etc). I taught Math and English for one year at ... read more
