WHAT CHARLIE'S DONE
LESSONS!
Lessons will be tailored to a student’s needs and goals. But, a typical lesson will cover fundamentals such as breathing, the embouchure, tonguing, tone, and range; as well as repertoire that challenges the student and applies the fundamentals they are working on. During lessons, Charlie teaches music theory by using examples from exercises and repertoire they are covering and breaking it down into easy to understand chunks.
Trumpet lessons are on Zoom for $80 per hour or $40 for half-an-hour.
