Overview
Brass lessons at the Academy offer the ultimate opportunity to explore or learn to play the trumpet, trombone, baritone or tuba. Lessons are designed to teach students the fundamentals of breath control, fingering, note reading, technique, ear training and more, using a variety of musical styles to enhance the learning experience. Whether you are looking for a traditional musical experience, jazz, or even rock- influenced lessons, our instructors are ready to provide the best instruction available.
What’s the #1 reason to study the trumpet, trombone, baritone, and tuba at the Academy?
Our brass instructors are warm and friendly, and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and the student’s favorite type of music. Whether you’re playing in local bands, a seven year old taking their first lesson, or a fifty year old returning to the trumpet after many years, we’ll set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.
What styles of trumpet, trombone, baritone, and tuba do you teach?
We teach all styles, from classical to contemporary.
How qualified are your brass instructors?
Our trumpet, trombone, baritone, tuba, and music instructors have received their education from prestigious institutions such as Vanderbilt University, Concordia, Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University, Ithaca College, William and Mary, New York University, Rice University, and Colorado State University. Some have been educated here at home: Towson University, Morgan University, The University of Maryland at College Park, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and Howard Community College. We are your neighbors! Some of our teachers have degrees from overseas, and many have toured the US and internationally, performed with stars and recording artists. Our instructors bring decades of professional performance and teaching experience to your lessons.
What will I learn from trumpet, trombone, baritone or tuba lessons at the Academy?
Beginner students can expect to work on notes, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Our instructors balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson presents a new technical challenges or theory concept, and ends with something fun, such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of method books, including the one used in your child’s music program at school.
Do I need to purchase a trumpet, trombone, baritone, or tuba to learn the instrument?
Yes, to practice at home, you will need to have an instrument available. However, you do not need to purchase an instrument as we have a rental program here at the Maryland Music Academy.
