BRASS

Quality Brass Lessons in Ahwatukee

Music Maker Workshops offers quality brass lessons in Ahwatukee for middle and high school students. We offer Trumpet, trombone, french horn & tuba lessons

If you are going into a school band program it's great to get private lessons to improve skills and build confidence. Our teachers will use the school curriculum to help them propel forward.

Learning a brass instrument helps develop hand-eye coordination, strengthen the core muscles, build confidence and increases memory capacity!  Our university-trained instructors can prepare you for the school band, college audition, and performances.

Most of all we hope you'll gain a love for music!  Lessons include learning fingering, lip position, air pressure, and embouchure.  As well as advanced techniques such as breath support and tonguing.
