Brass instruction is offered to students who wish to learn the trumpet, cornet, bugle, trombone, french horn, euphonium, baritone, tuba, or sousaphone. Instruction is available at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels and in a variety of styles such as classical, new orleans brass band, jazz/improvisation, blues, marching band, etc.
Students who are members of their school band often find private music lessons in trumpet, trombone, french horn, and/or tuba are beneficial as it is impossible for the school band director to give the necessary attention to each band member 100% of the time. Taking private lessons will ensure that the student remains at the top of the school band and holds the highest chairs.
Each program includes a weekly 30, 45, or 60 minute private lesson as well as 45 minutes of music theory class/assignment each week. These courses provide excellent skill development as well as performance improvement for orchestra or band students at any level.
In addition to weekly private lessons, our students also have option of attending a weekly enrichment lab of their choice. Our lab classes are held in small groups for 45 minutes each week, and classes include Music Theory, Vocal Ensemble, Songwriting, Zoom Theory, Drama Improv, and Choreography. There is no additional tuition or fees for our enrichment classes, and attendance is completely optional. Students who are able to attend enjoy making new friends and sharing their love of the performing arts together in a fun, relaxed group environment! See our current Enrichment Lab schedule via the link below!
Depending on your instrument, you will typically need an appropriate level mouthpiece, the instrument itself, as well as valve oil, slide grease, and a cleaning kit. Your teacher will recommend materials including media and books that may either be found freely online or are available for purchase. At your first lesson, please discuss your goals and stylistic interests with your teacher so that you can have a customized lesson plan in place! If you have your own music books, media, etc. please bring them to your first lesson!
