Hi! I teach personal, one-on-one trumpet lessons. Lessons are held weekly for 30-minutes each in my home studio. A month’s worth of lessons (4 or 5 weeks) is $100 per student. Payment is required at the first lesson of the month. A twenty-four-hour notice is required for an absence to be excused. However, make-up lessons may be arranged. Unexcused absences will not be reimbursed nor made up. To inquire about availability, please fill out the form below.

One of My Favorite Quotes:
“You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you. Till you can sing and rejoice and delight in God, as misers do in gold, and Kings in sceptres, you never enjoy the world."
(Thomas Traherne, 1636-1674)
