CT Trumpet Lessons, Performing Artist, Badollet Ensemble

I have begun a new position at St. George's School, in Newport Rhode Island, teaching private lessons. If you are a new or returning brass student at St. George, please feel free to say "hi", ask questions, or contact me about lessons.

If you are a former student or someone interested in beginning lessons with me this year, now is the time to sign up and secure a time slot!! Email me at: rousseauman@yahoo.com and give me your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd time preferences and I'll try to work out a time and day for everyone. I'm in Billerica on Mondays (for now) if I run out of slots I will add Fridays. Acton Music Center on Tuesdays, call Marian for scheduling at 978-263-9288 Performing Arts Center of Metro West on Wednesdays (another day may be added if Wed. fills up). I teach privately in my home studio on Saturday and Sunday mornings and early afternoon. Hope to see you soon! Dan

I will be starting a new position teaching trumpet lessons at the Performing Arts Center of Metro West in Framingham, MA. Currently, I also teach at the Acton Music Center , the Billerica Schools, and in my own home studio in Revere, MA.

I play on a custom made mouthpiece created by Bob Osmun . Bob has spent years perfecting, what I think is the best mouthpiece made. The sizes are similar to Bach sizing, but the diameters are a bit larger. Usually I play on a 1C rim, but on Bob's mouthpiece I play a size 1 1/2C. These mpc's come with a 24 throat and an open backbore. My C trumpet is a Bach 229 Bell with a custom leadpipe created for me by Jim Becker at Osmun Music. It is a reverse, shortened Bb pipe to a shorter "S" length. My Bb trumpet is a standard 37 Bell in silver that was "cryogenically frozen" with the mouthpipe venturi opened up. My Eb/D trumpet is a short model Schilke that was given to me by Jim Bursen after he retired from teaching. The serial number is in the 2000's. My piccolo trumpet is a Schilke P54. I use a cornet Bach 3C with a 24 throat on Picc.

Trumpet Teaching Studio in the Boston Area I created this blog to advertise my availability as a trumpet instructor. Accepting students of all ages in the greater Boston area. I have a Graduate Diploma in Trumpet Performance with Distinction from the New England Conservatory of Music, Tanglewood Fellowship, Doctorate and Masters work in Performance and Pedagogy, and a Bachelors of Music Education. I have performed with many top orchestras around the country including the Boston, Baltimore, and Key West symphonies; the Bohsoi and Royal Ballet Orchestras; as well as many regional orchestras in the Boston area. I teach the concepts of process orientation, keeping the mind off of product focus which is reactionary. Keeping the mind focused on the process of sound production with specific steps allows the mind to stay in the present tense and out of the judgement process. My studio is available for all levels, but also welcomes students who are preparing for competitions and auditions (coll...
