About this gig
**Prior to purchase, kindly pop me a message for enquiries and to confirm schedule**
So, you want to learn the trumpet? Whether you're looking to master it or just impress your loved ones by playing your favourite songs, I'm here to help. No judgment, no pressure - Just fun, laid-back lessons tailored to your pace, goals, schedule, and budget.
Not super into learning all the scales, theory, and technical stuff? No problem! I'll simplify everything and can even create custom sheet music with fingerings, so you can skip the guesswork and start playing right away.
All ages and levels are welcome - From total beginners to more advanced players looking to push further. Whether you're after a relaxed intro or ready to build technique, refine tone, and expand your range, I'll help you progress with confidence.
If you're unsure what you want to achieve, that's fine too. I'll guide you through the process and help you discover what excites you most about playing the trumpet. With 10+ years of pro playing and 5 years teaching 40+ students, I tailor every lesson to you. I'm comfortable with all genres - Pop, jazz, funk, film music, classical, and more.
Let's make music, your way!

FAQ
What If I'm not interested in learning musical notation?
That’s totally fine! I’ve taught many students who don’t read sheet music and still reach their goals. You don’t need notation to play your favourite songs - I’ll teach in a way that fits your learning style.
Do I teach complete beginners?
Absolutely! Many of my students started as total beginners. Don’t worry if you’re new - Ask as many questions as you like. I’m here to support you every step of the way!
What do I need for a lesson?
All you need is a trumpet, a computer with a microphone, a stable internet connection, and Zoom. If you have an external mic you can plug into your computer, that’s a bonus!
What does the "Intro Consultation" cover?
We’ll get to know each other and I’ll hear you play. We’ll reflect on what you'd like to improve, and if you’d like to continue, we’ll discuss your availability and create a tailored development plan.
What genres do you teach?
Any! From indie and funk to musical theatre or house, I’ll adapt to your style. Even if it’s new to me, I’ll help you explore how versatile the trumpet is - Whether you're playing along or adding your own spice to the music!
Do I need to bring my own music?
Not at all! You're welcome to bring your own songs or use the guided sheet music and pro backing tracks I offer in Premium. If you're not sure what to focus on yet, we’ll figure it out together in the lesson.
I’m doing a Trinity or ABRSM exam—can you help?
Definitely! I’ve taught Grades 1–8 for both exams. Just note that you'll need to bring your own official pieces and backing tracks, as required by exam boards.
