Trumpet and Brass Studio Private Lessons
Overview
Jeff Carver is an experienced trumpet teacher and provides private music lessons for students of all ages in his Minneapolis area studio. In addition, he also teaches additional brass instruments and currently has students studying trombone, euphonium and french horn. In addition to knowledge and experience, Jeff puts energy and enthusiasm into each lesson, helping to make a positive and motivational environment for each student.
When it comes to trumpet , Jeff has had great success with significantly improving his students' tone, range, endurance and power. "If a student is struggling with range and tone," Jeff states, "we can usually improve that the first lesson with just adjusting the breathing, air stream and aperture." He adds, "Over time, we can make these adjustments permanent by reinforcing the concepts through a consistent routine and proper exercises."
Jeff's students currently range in age form 6 to more than 50 years of age. Students come from various levels of experience and playing abilities but all share the desire to improve their trumpet skills and enjoy playing trumpet. Jeff also occasionally works hand in hand with a student's band director to make sure that there is consistency for the student.
Lesson Times
Various times are available for lessons. Lessons can be 30 minutes, 45 minutes or an hour in length. Lessons times are basically from 3:00pm to 9pm, Monday through Friday, based on availability.
Here's What Students and Parents are Saying About Lessons with Jeff Carver :
His enthusiasm is contagious! My son finally practices like he should...and loves it!!
-Robert C.
When Jeff is teaching, I find myself understanding his concepts and can help relate them to my child at home.
-Becky A.
Jeff takes personal interest in my child's success. We are not just another lesson like with some teachers.
-Steven B.
When Jeff can, he takes extra time with his students to make sure they are successful. My daughter had a special audition on Monday and was really nervous. Jeff made time at the last minute on a Sunday afternoon to work with her so she would be more confident on her audition materials.
