One-on-one trumpet tuition for players aged 5 to infinity, backed by 20+ years of performing and teaching experience.
I teach trumpet to students from age 5 to infinity — first-time beginners through to adults returning to the instrument after years away.
I've spent over 20 years performing and teaching around Hawke's Bay, playing regularly across a range of live projects. Lessons are grounded in real playing experience, not just theory.
Individually paced, one-on-one trumpet lessons for beginners through to advanced players. Whether it's a first note or refining tone and technique, lessons are shaped around where you're at.
Every Friday I'm playing at The Old Mill, joined by a different guest artist each week for a two-hour set of live duo music.
