30 years of Teaching Music at the secondary level and Higher Education 40 years as a professional musician

My name is KJ Karapetkov, and I'm a college student studying trumpet and music composition at Boston University! I'm currently looking for students who would like to study either trumpet (jazz or classical) or composition (any style) with me this summer. I'm also able to give broader jazz lessons to any instrument that would focus less on on the technical aspects of the instrument and more on the theoretical side of improvisation and playing jazz. My time is flexible and my rates are affordable, being $30 for a half hour and $45 for a full hour. I will happily teach any age range, so if you are interested in lessons for yourself or your child

Hi! My name is Jodie and I’m currently an undergraduate student at NYU studying Music Performance with and focus on French Horn. I’ve played various instruments since the age of five, and feel comfortable teaching Horn, Saxophone, Music Theory concepts, and beginner lessons for other brass instruments (trumpet, mellophone, trombone, tuba, euphonium). Before college I received intense training at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts here in DC.
