MY OWN PRIVATE STUDIO!!

I have finally decided to work for myself exclusively at my home studio!  I will be accepting private students for hour lessons only.  Beginners will be on an evaluation level only as I want to focus on more advanced/driven students who want to take their playing to the highest level.  This doesn't mean you have to want to be a professional musician, just that you want to practice, take getting better seriously.
I have the rare ability to communicate real concrete concepts that not only make your playing better, but empower you with the ability to know when things go wrong and how to correct them.
Try a few lessons and see what you think.
If you are a parent and don't know where to go to help your daughter or son find the right teacher, read my blog here.  Look at my teaching philosophy, my performance experience and testimonials.
From the president of one of the best band programs in Massachusetts:

"He is one of the most gifted communicators and teachers I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. He is a superb technician and has the ability to share his knowledge and expertise with his students in very creative and concrete ways. Not only does he bring out the best possible sound quality in his students, he is boundlessly enthusiastic and encouraging in the process, and just a really terrific person! I would recommend him very highly to anyone looking for an instructor or performer!"

What are you waiting for???

Review of the New Bach C Trumpets and Eb

Just had a chance to try the new line of Bach Artisan C trumpets as well as the "Philly" and "Chicago" C trumpets. For me, the "Philly" C was great. I loved the response, flexibility, intonation, and sound of all the C's I tried. The "Chicago" model was quite good as well, but was a bit more zippy for me. Both instruments were close in feel and response. I preferred the "Philly" model. Very nice horn! I was quite surprised to find I didn't like the Artisan Model. It was a good horn with nice color, but I felt the flexibility was a bit stiff, and the sound was good, but different enough for me to prefer the "Philly" sound. I felt there were some standard intonation issues that didn't work so well for me. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try a silver plated one as someone bought it before the day began. Jury is still out for me on this. But, I can't imagine the flexibility issues (for me) will change on the s...

Trumpet Soloist on the rise!

Yes, it is official! I have moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut, if you don't already know. In addition to starting a new teaching studio in the area I will be launching, very soon, a kickstarter fundraiser to fund my new CD. The CD will be of music I performed on my two previous recitals, with plans to record at WGBH studios in Boston. Any addition funds that go past my projected costs will go towards launching my solo career. This is an exciting new stage in my career as I focus on recital and master class tours around the country. I will also be looking for Orchestra and Wind Ensemble soloist opportunities. I'm hoping to present a trumpet presence that isn't the same old standards. No Haydn trumpet concerto! I'm hoping to find Orchestras interested in performing the John Addison Concerto, that was premiered by Leon Rapier (my teacher) many years ago and has been lost in the repertoire loop. It is a wonderful piece that showcases the lyrical ability as well as the tech...
