“Jeremy made picking up the trumpet incredibly approachable. Im 33 and up to this point Id only played percussive instruments and knew this could be an intimidating endeavor. Jeremy is amazing at pinpointing your learning style. He can cheerlead the areas where you naturally excel while patiently coaching you through the parts that need more guidance. Its only been a couple months and Im already positively hooked on this instrument thanks to him. Would highly recommend giving him a shout”!

“Jeremy is an excellent teacher. He communicates well and is easy to understand. Even after just a few lessons my school music teacher noticed how much I improved my playing. I have learned a lot from his knowledge, expertise, and love of trumpet and of music. If you take lessons from Jeremy, you will be impressed by his reliability and professionalism”.

“I’ve been taking lessons from Jeremy for 3 years now, going on four. He’s really flexible on the contents of his lessons. Whether you want to learn something new or work on something you’ve already started, Jeremy does what you would like and will help you work through whatever music or technique that needs to be practiced and refined. And if you have nothing, he often will either choose a skill set to help you refine, or will teach you something new and interesting. He’s very passionate about playing the trumpet and strives to help you be the very best player that you can be and then some. Jeremy’s also understanding as well. If you’re sick, or have another event already planned, he’s fine with skipping lessons for the week. He’s extremely dedicated to making your health comes first before the trumpet, and I appreciate that a lot”.

“Jeremy is my first and only music instrument teacher. I have him since January 2022. He is friendly. (He has to. I am old enough to be his grandmother.) To best help each students, he tailors lessons accordingly. (An assessment from my eave-droppings on lesson times before and after mine in the studio.) I have a bucket list. Learning to play trumpet is on this list, right up there next to the #1: learning to fly an airplane. I am very fortunate to have Jeremy as a teacher. He tolerates my rapid-firing questions, grins big when I bring him lemons from home. Most of all, he aims to break some bad habits I inevitably formed while self-taught during the pandemic lockdown. With his encouragement, I joined the area “Ontario Community Showband”. I would bring in sheets of music from the monthly concert, and Jeremy walks me through each tune to mark them up so I can actually play”!

“Jeremy is an all-out music genius. Despite his talents, he is friendly, patient, and exciting to learn with. With his lessons, my understanding and ability have progressed faster than expected. I recommend Jeremy for anyone interested in lessons no matter where they are in their musical journey. I cant wait for my next lesson with Jeremy”.

“He is a very great teacher! I'm Japanese. I have taken lessons from a Japanese teacher in the past. It's easy to understand because we speak the same language. But I prefer Jeremy's lessons! The lesson is very fun! My college friends ask me, "How do you practice? What do you do to improve?" The reason is that he tells me exactly what I want to know and he gives me clear and precise guidance on what I need to do! I want to be able to play jazz like him”.

"He provided the best advice and guidance for me throughout our lessons we shared. I have enjoyed working with Mr. Alvarez because he is knowledgeable and patient. His expertise has allowed me to become the best version of myself".

“Jeremy helped me with my trumpet by showing me how to play low notes good and how to have a really good sound. Jeremy has been a really good teacher because he pushes me so I can get better little by little and he is a really fun and nice teacher. I accomplished a lot of things like playing really nice and how to get the notes right all thanks to Jeremy. I enjoyed his company, Jeremy is really funny and its fun to have him for lessons”.

“I have been a student of Jeremys for six months now and I can see a lot of improvement in myself as a musician. Jeremy has helped me with pieces Im struggling with and taught me ways to learn them on my own. He’s introduced me to a lot of music theory that has made music make so much more sense and easier to play. I look forward to our lessons each week because he makes them fun and enjoyable”.

“Jeremy has been giving me Trumpet lessons for a few months and has really helped me learn to read the music but also strengthen my sound and technics. I really enjoy the songs that he teaches me during our lessons. Jeremy is very professional, nice and makes my Trumpet lessons fun”.

“Jeremy is honestly the coolest guy I know, and he made learning trumpet so awesome! However, one day my trumpet broke, and Jeremy gave me a piano lesson instead, and It was so much fun!! (I already have been playing piano for less than a year and wanted to also take on trumpet.) However, because of our lesson on the piano and with my trumpet being broken for multiple weeks, I decided to focus more on piano for now. However, if I do feel like trumpet again, Jeremy is where I’m going to”!!!

“Jeremy has been working with my 13 year-old son for one hour per week for about a year. The knowledge my son has gained is far beyond anything I expected. Jeremy has a deep understanding of the trumpet and how to play it properly but also has a keen instructing style that allows him to impart his understanding in a very coherent way that even my child can understand. I highly recommend Jeremy for a trumpet instructor".

“Jeremy is an extremely knowledgeable and helpful trumpet teacher. I’m an intermediate player who has been benefited tremendously with Jeremy. He has a very deep and thorough understanding of the trumpet, from technique to mechanics and musical knowledge as well. If you want a teacher that is extremely qualified and pleasant to take lessons from I highly recommend Jeremy”.

“Within the first 10 minutes of working with my son, his trumpet playing improved drastically!!! I don’t know what teaching magic Jeremy possesses, but he really has a gift for helping his students play their best”.

“I like doing lessons with Jeremey because he is positive and helpful during the lesson. If there was a mistake in an exercise we were working on he takes it step by step to make it better. In addition, when we fix mistakes it’s in a very uplifting way. His lessons are very helpful and positive”!
