About Me

Hi, my name is Lisa Marie, and I am a trumpet player from Tucson. I have been a student of music for 45 years. My musical influences include drum and bugle corps and I also enjoy small ensembles and classical music. My teaching style can best be described as personalized, fun and energetic. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I am patient, positive and encouraging. In my lessons, you can expect to learn technique, music theory and also how to care for your instrument. I like to tell my students everyone has the ability to make music. I take my love for music and want to share it with you. My favorite thing about teaching is watching the joy in my students as they advance in their abilities to make music. My favorite performance was 1984 Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps DCI Finals. My students love that I have a lot of patience and energy. I primarily teach older beginners but I can also teach young beginners. My approach as a teacher is to encourage all students and tailor the lessons to each individual's learning style. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon!
