About Alex

My name is Alex, I'm 26 and my professional background is healthcare, but I’m a pianist and trumpeter with over 15 years of experience playing music. Music has been a huge part of my life for many years, and through playing both instruments (and many more) I’ve developed a strong appreciation for not only performance, but also for the structure and theory behind music.

I decided to start teaching because I genuinely enjoy helping people discover music and develop their abilities. Learning an instrument can feel difficult at times, especially at the beginning, and I want my students to feel supported and encouraged while they build their confidence. Seeing someone progress from their first few notes to playing full pieces is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.

As a teacher, my goal is to create lessons that are patient, encouraging, and tailored to each student. Everyone learns differently, so I aim to adapt my teaching style to match the individual, whether that means focusing more on technique, theory, repertoire, or simply building confidence with the instrument.

I teach piano, trumpet, and music theory, and I enjoy working with students of all ages up to intermediate musicians. Some students come to lessons because they want to work towards exams, while others simply want to learn for their own enjoyment, and both approaches are equally welcome.

For me, music is not just about playing the right notes. It’s about creativity, expression, and developing a lifelong skill that can bring enjoyment to you and those around you for many years. My aim is to help students build strong foundations while also discovering the enjoyment that comes with making music.

About the lesson

My trumpet lessons are designed for beginner to late intermediate players, focusing on building strong technique, confidence, and musical expression. Lessons are structured, supportive, and tailored to each student’s level and goals, helping players continue developing their skills in a clear and enjoyable way.

As a Grade 6 trumpeter with many years of playing experience, I focus on helping students refine their foundations and progress steadily. Whether you are working through graded material, returning to the instrument after a break, or looking to improve your technique, lessons are adapted to suit your development.

Teaching Approach

Lessons focus on three main areas:

Technique – breath support, embouchure development, articulation, flexibility, and range

Understanding – improving music reading, rhythm accuracy, and basic theory relevant to trumpet playing

Musicality – tone quality, phrasing, dynamics, and confident performance

Students will work on exercises designed to improve tone, endurance, and control, alongside scales, technical studies, and repertoire appropriate to their level. Difficult passages are broken down into manageable sections so progress remains consistent and achievable.

I also help students develop effective practice routines, allowing them to practise more efficiently between lessons.

Lesson Length

I generally recommend 1 hour lessons, as this allows time to work on technique, exercises, and repertoire in a focused way.

Who Lessons Are For

Beginner to late intermediate trumpet players

Students preparing for Grade 1–4 exams

Players looking to improve technique and musical confidence

My aim is to help students of all ages strengthen their technique, develop a confident tone, and continue progressing as trumpet players while enjoying the process of making music.
