Teaching Info
Exciting and engaging one to one instrumental lessons for all ages and abilities. Each lesson is tailored towards the specific needs and goals of the student. Lesson length ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours for advanced students. I teach from various method books, and with an emphasis on playing by ear, as well as more traditional learning methods.
Music theory lessons also available.
"Jonny is an extremely talented, knowledgable and professional tutor and trumpet player. His breadth of experience allows him to teach technique, musicality and breath-work to the highest level. Being a complete beginner, he made me feel very comfortable and is patient in our lessons. I'd recommend Jonny to all levels of trumpet players!"
