Lessons With Lucas
About
I have 11 years of music experience and 6 years of performing experience on both piano and trumpet. My specialties are in Jazz/lead and Classical Trumpet but I have also taught beginning/moderate level Jazz and Classical Piano lessons. As a musician, I have been playee lead and solo trumpet in the Ohio State University Jazz Ensemble for the last 4 years and have competed in numerous classical solo competitions as well. I am currently a Jazz performance Masters student at Michigan State as well as a teaching assistant in the jazz department.
I've been playing music for around 10 years now and I enjoy really just because it's fun. There's not a feeling I've experienced that can top playing for an engaged audience that leaves a show feeling better than they did when they walked in the door.
