My 3rd student of the new school year got a late start—he just recently signed up for band class, and the other trumpeters have about a two-month head start! They’re all in 6th grade at the same elementary school between Woodinville and Snohomish, so he’s had to get off to a fast start to chase down the leaders. He’s taking weekly one-hour trumpet lessons (instead of half-hour). He’s got the family support, he’s got the interest, he’s got the desire, he’s a quick learner, and he’s a hard worker. If he were a racehorse, I’d say those other horses better watch out! This steed is gaining ground with every stride.

New Student from Bothell
Posted by glennled on October 5, 2009
My 2nd new trumpet student of the 2009 school year commenced lessons with me this month. He’s a 9th grader in middle school, where he’s already an award-winning musician among his peers, and yet he has never had a private lesson until now. His prime interest is jazz. I can tell he’s going to go far!–just the kind of motivated, talented student every instructor loves to have.

School’s Almost Here–Get Ready!
Posted by glennled on August 14, 2009
My first new student for the new school year lives in Ballard and is already on the horn, taking weekly lessons, practicing and having fun learning new techniques and songs! He’s gonna be good, if he keeps it up. He’s a quick learner, has a natural emboucher, likes music, is curious about how his cornet works and should be maintained, and is excited about playing it. Watch out, he’s improving fast!
Remember: wherever you are on the learning curve, you can always improve, and with help, you can improve faster than trying to do it alone. The better you are, the more fun it is. The composers wrote the music, your horn can perform it…now, can you play it? Say yes!
