Trumpet Lessons

One of the oldest musical instruments dating back to 1500 BC, the trumpet has the highest register in the brass family. The instrument is played by closing one’s lips and blowing air to produce a buzzing sound.

Primarily made of brass these days, through history trumpets have been made of bronze and silver in Egypt, Scandinavia, Peru, and Central Asia. Trumpet players were often among the most prized members of a troop as they were responsible for relaying military instructions to other sections of an army.

We also start them on half-size guitars that fit smaller hands comfortably.🎶 But don’t worry—younger students are welcome too!We offer Early Childhood Music Classes starting at age 3, where kids explore music through piano, voice, and drums in a fun, playful setting. It’s the perfect introduction to music before transitioning into private lessons like guitar, piano, or violin (which begins as early as age 4).Wherever your child is on their musical journey, we’ll help them grow with confidence and joy.📍 Located in Old Town Monrovia
