About the lesson
I believe starting trumpet lessons at a young age is essential. There is a lot of misinformation on how to play the trumpet out there. If I can impact any aged beginning student to realize that the trumpet is not rocket science, I will be happy!! The trumpet should be fun and exciting everyday we pick it up. I also believe if we can develop a habit of taking care of the music every day, the music will eventually take care of us. :)
It all starts with getting the biggest and most beautiful trumpet sound!
Coming from the Bill Adam school of thought, I have been very lucky to have studied from some of the best trumpet players in the world. My goal is to inspire anyone and everyone through music and I strive to pass down the information I've learned to the next generation of trumpet players.

About Jan
I am a musician, bandleader, producer, and educator.
I have been playing trumpet for 15 years and I have been teaching for 5. In 2019 I traveled the world playing on the Norwegian Cruise Line Gem Ship. I was a member of the Kids From Wisconsin Performing troupe for 3 summers in a row, playing and mentoring students from ages 4-18 (2016-18). In college I played in every classical and jazz ensemble possible. The most notable being the Grammy Nominated UW-Eau Claire Jazz Ensemble 1!
I also started my own funk bands, jazz combos, and brass quintets that played regularly at local venues.

Jan is my trumpet teacher, and has been for over a year now. I have improved so much since then, my range growing and my tone getting better as well. Definitely recommend.

It is very apparent that Jan truly loves the trumpet and enjoys seeing kids learn and grow with the instrument. I would highly recommend Jan as a teacher. He is the most kind and enthusiastic teacher you will find.
Brianna
As Music Department Chair at Cedarburg High School in Wisconsin, I have been recommending Jan as a trumpet teacher for the past three years. Parents will appreciate his organization, his excellent use of the lesson time- balancing both instruction and talk time with the student-and his vast knowledge of a variety of styles of music. He is a top notch musician possessing solid pedagogical skills.
