Trumpet, French Horn and Trombone Lessons
Trumpet is a difficult instrument for beginners but it quickly responds to hard work with the right fundamentals. Any child (or adult) can play, and they’ll have more fun if real music is introduced immediately. Scales, arpeggios, technical drills, etc. are all part of building a foundation that allows you to become creative, to improvise and achieve your own sound along the way. Wynton Marsalis, Arturo Sandoval, Clark Terry, to name but a few great trumpeters, all testify to being mesmerized by great players who came before them, even while they were first learning to play a C-scale.
