Classical and jazz trumpet player - can teach all brass from all ages from elementary school - undergrad. Based in Lexington, KY

I took trumpet lessons from Christopher briefly in university and his care and concern to his students is unmatched in this field. He carefully guides and instructs students on technique, musicality, and proper musicianship while maintaining a welcoming and safe environment to learn in.

For the years I have known Chris, I have never met a more exceptional musician and human. Besides having phenomenal trumpet technique, Chris is dedicated to share his love of music with anyone in his path. He is a skilled teacher, making lessons fun and engaging to all students, beginner to experienced. He facilitates an uplifting and encouraging environment as he teaches and participates in ensembles. I could not recommend a better musician to learn from!!

Christopher is an amazing educator and musician. He is very talented and has a natural ability to connect with students of all levels. Aside from his teaching capabilities, he is an outstanding trumpet player with a lot of experience. He is exactly the kind of person you want to learn from.

I've known Christopher for three years, and he's one heck of a trumpeter, a well-rounded educator, and an even better friend. Christopher is always in your corner, rooting for you with his infectious energy and down-to-earth mentorship. As a trombone instructor myself, I highly recommend Christopher for his wealth of knowledge and experience. He truly has the heart of a teacher.

Christopher is a GREAT trumpet performer with a hefty resume to show for it; not only that but his ear training is elite in assisting others with polishing their craft. He does an awesome job at modeling exactly how he wants his students to play which is crucial in private lessons, always giving honest constructive criticism. He is skilled in both the classical and jazz field and can both play AND teach all styles.

I recommend Christopher because his passion for the craft is simply unmatched

Christopher is a fantastic trumpet player and musician that I’d recommend to anybody as a teacher. He has a large amount of intense experience on his instrument, and can translate that knowledge to his students very well. His impressive trumpet playing combined with his musicality and experience with many playing styles make him a wonderful teacher.

Christopher is not only an exceptional musician, but he is an educator with great communication skills, who can not not only explain important concepts thoroughly, but do so in a manner that is the most effective and impactful for each unique student. I’ve worked with Chris as a musician colleague for years now, and he is a wonderful person with a vast amount of knowledge.
