I'm having a wonderful time taking trumpet lessons with John. One of the highlights of my week, for sure. He is warm and very easy to get along with, patient and encouraging. When something doesn't quite click, he has a fresh approach that gets to the heart of things. I have gained an appreciation for the instrument and am excited at how much better I will get!

John is the total package as a trumpet instructor. It doesn’t matter what type of music you would like to learn to play, John is very versatile and can teach you to play in any genre of music. However, if you are looking to learn jazz for trumpet in particular, look no further. John has had a first-rate musical education and a lifetime of experience.

​​...In addition to his phenomenal musicianship both as a trumpeter and jazz improviser, John Carlson is a dedicated and skilled teacher/educator who
connects naturally and easily with his students.
