Fred is my trumpet teacher & has been teaching brass (trombone,trumpet,french horn,tuba) for more than 40 years. He's great with fundamentals, teaching you the details of physical technique, so you don't start with bad or even physically dangerous habits. But he's also the teacher of many people who are now professionals (people in the Philharmonic, or composers, or really good hobbists, etc). My trumpet lessons go like this... I play trumpet, he's on either valve or slide tombone. He tells me stories of his old friends, jokes, thoughts, famous or just really interesting people he's known, stories of humanity in between excercises when your chops need to rest. "I'm a great teacher," he says really without boasting, "because I had a great teacher", "the late John Clark"... not to mention all the gigs, his years teaching at Manhattan School of Music, with the Goldman Band, and the Metropolitan Opera, among other things. I love Fred because he's a wonderful person. I'm glad also he's a great teacher.<br><br>He's got a focus on all the fundamentals of music. If you're interested in Jazz in particular, he might not teach with the latest techniques. I would think, especially great for a beginner, or a coach if you're already good & just need polishing technique.

This is just a wonder school of which i will not stop speaking highly of. It has an endless number of programs for kids to participate in and find their true selves. It has a club for actors who make shows twice a year which in quality are on the same level and on an even higher potential level than real broadway shows are. They have the russian drama club as well as the rainbow club for homosexual individuals. They have a music hall for those who enjoy instruments. Their faculty is outstanding. They have huge variety of gym classes including yoga, weight training, polar bear classes, badminton, gymnastic, latin dance, soccer and others. The level of education is superb. This school holds an opportunity of a bright future for its students, if they decide to take it.
