For most of my life I’ve been a “legit” trumpet player, playing in bands and orchestras. Last year, at the age of 63, I retired my trumpets in favor of the more mellow clarinet/sax (my condo neighbors were very thankful). As a believer in private lessons I went searching for a teacher and eventually began studying with Tracy. At my age I’ve had a good many private music teachers, including a principal for a big city symphony. While they all contributed to my music education, Tracy is easily the best private music teacher with whom I’ve worked. While a portion of each lesson is spent on technique, she spends an equal amount of time on music/jazz theory. She has caused me to listen and play music in completely different way. Over the years I’d forgotten that music, while always requiring dedication and work, should be fun. Tracy has rekindled my joy for playing; I’ll be forever grateful.
