In the last 50+ years, I have helped thousands of trumpet players of all different levels and abilities from High School players, Under Grad College players, Grad School including players working on and obtaining DMAs, Comeback Players and full-time working playing Professionals.
For example Herb Alpert had a 12 year layoff before he came to me. Herb has released 9 CDs and done countless live shows since I gave him trumpet lessons.
Keith Fiala was a comeback player and since taking lessons with me Keith has toured full-time with Maynard Ferguson and Arturo Sandoval.
I have worked with symphonic players preparing for and winning auditions in major symphonic orchestras. I have worked with players in Broadway shows in NYC and the West End shows in London. I worked with players in Vegas (when Vegas was rocking). If you can imagine it then I have actually taught it and I can teach you to do it as well.
If you have any playing problems Take A Lesson. or contact Pops.
There are 4 things that act like mini octave keys for trumpet players.
Sadly most players use the wrong physical action in the wrong register and it doesn’t work effectively. I can quickly help you to learn to apply those actions in the correct register so that playing becomes much easier.
