Program Information

The trumpet is a very in-demand instrument, and we will offer you many new and exciting musical opportunities. Whether you are picking up the trumpet for the very first time and looking to learn the fundamentals first, or you have been playing for a while and want some additional lessons, we would love to help you learn the trumpet from our certified educators. We offer private trumpet lessons through an innovative and engaging curriculum for trumpet students. We have as many adult beginners as we have young children just starting on this instrument. Our unique approach to musical education facilitates a fast and practical learning experience for students of all ages.

Each online trumpet lesson takes place between one teacher and one student for either 30 or 60 minutes. While our trumpet sessions are all private, parents are more than welcome to attend their child's classes.

Requirements:

• No skills required; you can be a beginner student
• You will need a trumpet and mouthpiece
• The most important part of music study takes place at home; the more you practice, the better you will be
• Get excited about learning trumpet, as an inspired learner learns faster and easier

Goals:

Our amazing trumpet instructors utilize elements of different teaching methods that work best for each student. Students will start with the fundamentals, such as breath control, assemble and care for a trumpet, real tones production, finger placement, double tongue, reading music, simple songs, etc. Intermediate students learn how to play clear sound, perform multiple major and minor scales, articulation, and an overview of tunes, pieces and songs taught. Advanced and experienced students will develop proficiency in long tones, playing expressively with phrasing, dynamics, and vibrato, along with learning significant repertoire. Our trumpet curriculum covers the following subjects:

• Note reading and recognition
• Counting, rhythm reading
• Technique (scales, arpeggios, trills, dynamics)
• Sight reading
• Rudiments of theory
• Memorization
• Ear training

Repertoire

Selecting repertoire is one of the most challenging and important tasks that we take on in the development of our students’ musical education. We work on the repertoire in these categories: etudes and studies, unaccompanied works, concertos, variations, etc., and short pieces. Students at all levels will be given a selection of repertoire from multiple eras of music to study and perfect.
