"Gordon recently began teaching trumpet to our 8-year-old. Our child connected with Gordon from the first class. The lessons are engaging and informative. Gordon is very thorough, offering short videos and resources after the lessons to facilitate continued learning while practicing. We've been amazed by the progress our child has made in a very short time, not only in skill level but most importantly in confidence."

In our lessons, you'll learn the fundamentals of the instrument in a creative and positive way that applies to all styles of music, from classical to jazz and beyond.  We focus on expanding range and endurance, developing tone and articulation, and on phrasing and musicianship. We can work on repertoire, preparing for exams and auditions, as well as improvisation and composition. My goal is to help you grow as a trumpet player, and to play the music you love!

I am proud to have a diverse studio including beginners, amateur players, and professional musicians of all backgrounds and styles, from 5 to 75 years old. I have experience teaching those with physical and intellectual disabilities. I studied extensively in New York with master teacher Laurie Frink, the foremost exponent of Carmine Caruso's universally effective method. I combine this approach with methods I’ve developed throughout my teaching and performing careers. I am fluent in English and French.

Lessons are offered at my Watertown studio, at your home in the greater Boston area, or online. Please inquire for rates.
