My son has had a few lessons so far, and is really enjoying it. John is very patient and great with beginners. Looking forward to seeing how much my son learns over the summer!

Comprehensive and easy to understand. John is a great teacher, if you are looking for one look no further. He takes trumpet leasson to a new level.

John and I had a great first lesson! We discussed proper embouchure and breathing techniques. John has a wealth of practical knowledge. I'm looking forward to future lessons.

My son, 14, has really taken to John's calm and reassuring style of instruction. He is growing as a musician. John is positive and consistent. We could not be more pleased.
- Charles P. from Salinas, CA
John has quickly established rapport with my 12 years old son and made every lesson fun and productive. He didn't shy from starting with basics, yet kept introducing new concepts of more and more complexity.

My son has been taking lessons with John for a long time. He went from a C in band to a solid A. He has come a long way with the support and help John has provided. He is patient and keeps the lessons entertaining. I highly recommend him.

Being more aware and giving attention to my breath support which, i am sure, will build and support my embouchure. So will give a little time and see what developes
- Richard G. from Vallejo, CA
John taught him to go slow and do long tones on the C scale main focus is on getting his embouchure in the right position while keeping the front of his lips flat corners firm and and open free air moving through the aperture."
- Valancia A. from Woodbridge, CT
I?m amazed at his patience and caring for young minds learning the trumpet. We are blessed to have him teach my son. He is gaining enthusiasm and getting better playing. We are grateful for his expertise!
- Kate A O. from South Webster, OH
Gave me great tips on the fundamentals. Seems willing to work with me at my (SLOW) pace, as I still work full time at 100hr/wk "day job". I look forward to taking some more lessons with him. Can't wait to try a mouthpiece he recommended.
- Glenn M. from Camden Wyoming, DE
John gave me a completely different perspective on brass playing in my very first lesson, some thing that no YouTube video has ever done. It was an amazing experience and I feel lucky to know John, if only online. Also he is just a personable guy and a good teacher to boot.
- Tom C. from Redmond, WA
Really helped with fixing some initial very common bad habits. taught some great exercises. very encouraging, helpful, and patient. also helped me realize i needed my trumpet cleaned.
- Leo S. from Jarbidge, NV
We have had two lessons with John and I?ve been very impressed. His attention to detail is refreshing. It?s so important to get the correct positioning of the mouth and lips early on. He works well over Zoom and is a fantastic teacher!
- Sharina B. from Idaho Falls, ID
John tutored my son for trumpet lessons. He's super knowledgeable and great with techniques. John's very patient and dedicated, and a pleasure to work with.
- Quyen T. from Sudbury, MA
He is awesome!!! I?m extremely happy that my mom found Mr. John. I feel confident that I will excel working with him.
- Marisol H. from Orange Park, FL
I'm still in the early stages of playing and John doesn't get frustrated or demanding when I still haven't figured it out. He is very patient and tries multiple ways of teaching so I understand what I'm supposed to do. Thanks John Sheila
- Sheila G. from Jarbidge, NV
John really excels at explaining the technique adjustments required to improve your sound. He?s patient and clear and uses the camera and microphone very well so you can visualize what the music should sound like and how your lips tongue and fingers should be working. He's also fun and encouraging. I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to improve.
- Mark S. from Stillwater, OK
John is a very dedicated teacheer. He is very well equipped to teach online. My son has taken to trumpet thanks to the teacher like John. He looks forward to his class every week.
