Tutor in Santa Barbara, California

Hi, my name is James. I have been playing trumpet for years, and I absolutely love it. I also love helping others with their playing, which brings me here. I am offering professional quality in-home private instruction to music students who want to realize their potential and goals within the world of music!I have tutored several students who have gone on to do pretty cool things and I want to find more students to mentor. Whether you need someone to help prepare for an audition, need a full technique overhaul, or anything in between I am willing and able to help foster your best playing possible! I specialize in trumpet, but I can teach general music theory to music students who play other instruments. If you would like to improve the quality of your music then don't hesitate to get in touch with me. * Tutoring at your location- sadly I don't have a suitable location to tutor at. Studio recommended but any room that isn't too cluttered will work fine. * I usually base lesson on materials the student already has, but can bring some on request\ * If you do not have a music stand please let me know ahead of time so that I can try to accommodate * Served as a teacher's assistant for religious education, have gone through Virtus training as per archdiocese rules * Professional and respectful Email or text preferred. Calls may be screened out for telemarketers... Rates: $35 per hour or $25 per half hour. Cash and personal checks accepted. Note: although I will do whatever I can, I cannot "magically" make you or your child better. There is no magic bullet for playing better. I can help encourage the effort but I can't force a student to do so...
