BRASS TEACHER / JAZZ STUDIES

OFFERED PROFESSIONAL STUDIES

WHAT IS A PRO LESSON ? 

I call it PRO LESSON based on my many years of PROFESSIONAL playing experience as a featured performer being passed to YOU. I have also had the honor to study from some of the worlds best brass studio players and jazz performers based in Los Angeles, and I share this special information with my students. Real information by players who are at the TOP of the brass playing world. 

Often a player does not need a typical weekly lesson to make big advancements. In my personal studies sometimes a great master would tell me ONE thing that made a big improvement in my playing instantly, just putting me on the right path forward. 

The PRO LESSON is based on giving you what YOU need to off set problems and put you in the best direction forward in what you need to do to reach high levels. It could be chop embouchure development, jazz improv secrets to make it easier, horn or mouthpiece advice...what ever YOU need. 

PLEASE NOTE I limit my teaching schedule so I can give the most concentrated information in the pro lessons to selective serious students only.  Teaching is a joy for me when players really want to learn and practice as directed by dedication and motivation. If you have a casual interest only....check with your local music store...
