About

Hi! I'm Jeremy Alvarez, a professional trumpet player, educator, and Berklee College of Music graduate.

I was awarded the prestigious Jimmy Lyons Scholarship, a full-tuition scholarship given to one musician in the Western United States. At Berklee, I studied with world-renowned trumpet artists Tiger Okoshi and Sean Jones, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance.

As a performer, I was awarded 2nd Place in the International Trumpet Guild Jazz Competition and have toured and recorded professionally throughout the United States, Vietnam, Argentina, and Mexico. I've performed and collaborated with artists including bbno$, Joyce Moreno, Pedro Capó, My Linh, and Sunni Colón, and have contributed recordings to projects for Netflix and Manjuu.

As a teacher, I work with students of all ages and skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced players preparing for auditions, jazz performance, honor groups, and college music programs. While I specialize in jazz studies, improvisation, and contemporary trumpet performance, I am experienced teaching a wide range of styles and musical goals. My lessons are personalized to each student's needs, focusing on strong fundamentals, sound production, technique, musicianship, confidence, and a lifelong enjoyment of music.

Whether you're picking up the trumpet for the first time or looking to take your playing to the next level, I'll create a clear, structured plan to help you improve quickly and achieve your goals.

    Jeremy is an extremely knowledgeable and helpful trumpet teacher. I’m an intermediate player who has been benefited tremendously with Jeremy. He has a very deep and thorough understanding of the trumpet, from technique to mechanics and musical knowledge as well. If you want a teacher that is extremely qualified and pleasant to take lessons from I highly recommend Jeremy.

    I like doing lessons with Jeremey because he is positive and helpful during the lesson. If there was a mistake in an exercise we were working on he takes it step by step to make it better. In addition, when we fix mistakes it’s in a very uplifting way. His lessons are very helpful and positive!

    I have been a student of Jeremys for six months now and I can see a lot of improvement in myself as a musician. Jeremy has helped me with pieces Im struggling with and taught me ways to learn them on my own. Hes introduced me to a lot of music theory that has made music make so much more sense and easier to play. I look forward to our lessons each week because he makes them fun and enjoyable.

    Jeremy made picking up the trumpet incredibly approachable. Im 33 and up to this point Id only played percussive instruments and knew this could be an intimidating endeavor. Jeremy is amazing at pinpointing your learning style. He can cheerlead the areas where you naturally excel while patiently coaching you through the parts that need more guidance. Its only been a couple months and Im already positively hooked on this instrument thanks to him. Would highly recommend giving him a shout!

    He is a very great teacher! The lessons are fun!
    Im Japanese. I have taken lessons from a Japanese teacher in the past. Its easy to understand because we speak the same language. But I prefer Jeremys lessons!
    My college friends ask me, How do you practice? What do you do to improve? The reason is that he tells me exactly what I want to know and he gives me clear and precise guidance on what I need to do!
    I want to be able to play jazz like him.
