Adult Beginner Trumpet Lessons

Don’t want to play kids songs? No worry! We’ll work with you to help you play the music that you want. We personalize our lessons for you.

Sometimes we can jump right in with what you want, but other times it takes a little prep work. But we’ll always get you there.

In fact, most of our trumpet students are adult beginners. So you’ll find a welcoming environment with a team that knows how to work with folks just like you.

Our progressive methods will get you playing quickly, with easily digestible trumpet lessons. Get ready to buzz!

Intermediate Trumpet Lessons For Adults

As an advancing trumpet player, we’ve got the skills to get your playing to the next level. We’ve worked with beginners and pros, so we know exactly how to get you from one level to the next.

At this stage, you should have learned the basics of the trumpet. We'll focus on helping you learn increasingly difficult music and technique.

Advanced Trumpet Lessons

Our students have included cast members of Saturday Night Live, Broadway performers, and producers. We’ve even helped students prepare for graduate degree auditions.

We go above and beyond other programs by developing more advanced skills, practice habits, and learning techniques. You’ll learn more music, in a shorter amount of time, and with greater skill and security.

Whether you need to work on sight reading, playing cleanly in the highest registers, or playing fast passages, we can help.

Trumpet Lessons for Kids

Develop your child’s skills in a fun and engaging way

Just like you, we want to see your kid have fun, enjoy music, and grow into a capable, successful adult. And we also know you want a program you can trust because you are busy with so many things.

That’s what we’ve designed our Arpeggio® lesson system to do. Systems such as Suzuki, ABRSM, the Royal Conservatory simply provide a sequence of songs to play. But our system is designed to develop your child’s skills, enabling them to play any music they want. That’s real growth, and real learning.

Guaranteed Results

In addition, our system provides you with detailed notes every week so you can stay in touch with your child’s development. Plus your child will have the opportunity to perform every week in our student sharing hour, in our open mics, or in our regular recitals. This gives you results that you and your child can see.

Beginner Trumpet Lessons For Kids

Trumpet lessons for kids require some extra attention and care. It's easy to overpractice and wear out the lips, which are not often exercised until they start the trumpet.

Our teachers will build progressive, step by step methods that get your child playing the trumpet well, without overdoing it.

Intermediate Trumpet Lessons For Kids

If your child has shown a committed interest in the trumpet, you need someone who can take them to the next level. That's not just about playing the trumpet, but perhaps working on ensemble skills for band or marching band. No matter your child's direction, we can help them advance successfully on the trumpet.

Advanced Trumpet Lessons For Kids

If your child has shown exceptional promise on the trumpet, we've got the experience to help. Our program is top notch, and we've even helped students win auditions into masters degree guitar programs at major universities.

Other Programs

Most of our students come to us after they have tried lessons somewhere else. They tried video courses or lessons that weren’t personlized for them – YouTube, Zoom, or TakeLessons. They took lessons with teachers who were not trained professionals.

And they just didn’t see the results they wanted.

They didn’t get better or ended up frustrated. They paid for videos but still had to teach themselves. They took lessons with someone who showed them what to do, but not how to do it.

And that left them unhappy. Feeling like they wasted time and money. So they looked for a better program.

The good news is that you’ve just found the #1 science backed program, guaranteed to get you results. That’s the Arpeggio® lessons system, designed right here at Sage Music®.

Types of Trumpet Lessons

The trumpet has found a home in so many different musical styles. These are some of the more common lessons we are asked to provide. If you don't see your style, get in touch as we may offer it, too.

Jazz Trumpet Lessons

When studying the jazz trumpet, you'll learn to get a brighter sound that cuts through the band. In addition, there will be emphasis on sight reading, learning large numbers of tunes by ear, and how to improvise.

Mariachi Trumpet Lessons

Not surprising, there are a lot of mariachi trumpet players in Queens, NY and in San Antonio, TX where we have our school locations. We teach more than the standard classical rep, so if you want to develop your mariachi trumpet skills, we'll help you along.

Classical Trumpet Lessons

Symphonic Band and Marching Band are big news in middle schools, high schools, and some colleges. Many of our trumpet students take lessons to improve their skills to be better placed in these bands.
