Further your Brass Instrument Skills at Murrieta’s Award-Winning Music Academy
Our Murrieta and Menifee based Music Academy provides private Trumpet and Trombone instruction for students ages 8 and up. Whether you want a Brass instrument teacher for classical, jazz, or school band class support, we've got you covered. Our brass instructors have played and recorded professionally for many years. The lessons are customized to help players of any level from the beginner to the very advanced trumpet and trombone student.
Different stages of learning as well as personal preference will dictate different programs of study, which is why private instruction is best. Most students will not reach the advanced level of playing, which is fine because not everyone wants to be a professional brass player. What is important is that each student can go as far as his or her dedication and desire will allow.
1. While modern brass instruments are typically made of brass, historically, they were made from various materials like wood, bronze, silver, and even gold.
2. The modern trumpet's design is said to be inspired by the shofar, a traditional Jewish musical instrument made from a ram's horn.
3. The trombone was introduced to the world in the famous 5th Symphony, by Ludwig van Beethoven.
4. The oldest known brass instrument is the "Roman Tuba," dating back to the 1st century AD. It was a large and straight brass instrument used in military processions and ceremonies.
5. With all of the above considered, by taking trumpet lessons, trombone lessons, or horn lessons, you are learning on an instrument that is historically-notable!

Remember, daily practice complements brass lessons much better than practicing several hours in a daily session. It is much better to practice in short durations (but daily and consistently). As students advance, it may be worth considering to increase the amount of time spent practicing to develop and master advanced techniques.
