About Valerie
y journey with music combines the thrill of performance with the artistic eye behind the lens.
For years, I honed my trumpet skills in everything from prestigious youth orchestras to the electrifying energy of marching band. I jammed with fellow music lovers in jazz band and brought the spirit to every game with the pep band. My dedication even led me to DCI auditions, pushing my musical boundaries.
But music isn't just about the sounds I create. My passion extends to capturing the magic of performance. As a professional live music photographer and videographer, I've witnessed countless talented musicians from the other side of the stage. This unique perspective allows me to understand the emotions and challenges performers face, making me a more empathetic and well-rounded trumpet tutor.
What does this mean for you? It means I can not only teach you the technical aspects of playing the trumpet, but also help you develop your stage presence, musicality, and confidence. I'll draw from my performance experience to guide you through the intricacies of phrasing and interpretation, and my photographer's eye will help you understand how to truly connect with your audience.

Learning the trumpet should be fun and rewarding! As your beginner trumpet tutor, I'm here to make that journey smooth and enjoyable. Here's a look at my approach:
Teaching Methods & Techniques:
Making it Fun: We'll incorporate engaging exercises and activities to keep you motivated and make learning feel like play.
Positive Reinforcement: I celebrate your progress, no matter how small, fostering a confident and encouraging learning environment.
Step-by-Step Approach: We'll break down each concept into manageable steps, ensuring a solid foundation in trumpet basics.
Visual Aids & Multimedia: I'll use clear visuals, demonstrations, and potentially even fun trumpet-related media to enhance your understanding.
Typical Lesson Plan:
Warm-up Games: We'll start with fun warm-up exercises to improve your breathing and develop a relaxed embouchure (how you form your lips on the mouthpiece).
Learning the Parts: We'll explore the different parts of the trumpet and how they work together to create sound.
Making Your First Sounds: Get ready to create your first trumpet notes! I'll guide you step-by-step on proper breath control and embouchure technique.
Building Your Repertoire: We'll begin learning simple, engaging melodies that will build your confidence and playing skills.
Practice Tips & Fun Challenges: I'll equip you with effective practice strategies and fun challenges to keep you motivated between lessons.
What Sets Me Apart:
Patient & Encouraging: I understand the challenges of starting a new instrument. I'll be patient, supportive, and celebrate your progress every step of the way.
Age-Appropriate Instruction: My lessons are tailored specifically for younger beginners, keeping their attention span and learning pace in mind.
Building a Love for Music: I go beyond just teaching notes. I'll help you develop a love for music and the joy of playing the trumpet.
Interactive Learning: Lessons are hands-on and interactive, with plenty of opportunities for you to ask questions and actively participate.
Who Are These Lessons For:
These beginner trumpet lessons are perfect for children (age 8 and up) with no prior musical experience who are curious and excited to explore the trumpet. They can be individual lessons or even small group sessions for siblings or friends who want to learn together.
If you have any questions about my approach or if your child is a little younger and you're curious about pre-instrument introduction, feel free to reach out! I'm here to help you and your child embark on this exciting musical journey.
