Teaching

Lessons for all ages and experience levels

I am available for jazz and classical trumpet lessons for students of all ages and experience levels in Chicago and the surrounding area. I customize each lesson to the individual student and incorporate ear training, listening, basic music theory, and general musicianship development into every lesson. In addition to trumpet lessons, I teach beginning piano, beginning brass instruments, beginning flute, beginning clarinet, jazz and classical music theory, jazz composition and arranging, Sibelius skills, and jazz improvisation. 

Convenient and affordable

I teach out of my home studio in Logan Square, and I am available for Zoom lessons or group lessons. I charge $60 for an hour-long lesson, $45 for a 45 minute lesson, or $35 for a half hour (recommended for beginners and younger children). Depending on your location, I can come to you for a small additional travel stipend.

My background

I have a BM in Jazz Trumpet from Oberlin Conservatory. I am currently the program director for MUSIC Inc., where I teach brass and woodwind lessons, piano, music theory, and orchestra. I have also taught privately and in classroom settings through organizations including the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras, Stanford Jazz Workshop, Music House Inc., and UpBeat Music and Arts.
