Browse Our Teachers ↓ Have a question?Whether you’re just learning how to form your embouchure or mastering your improv technique, our trumpet teachers in NYC will meet you exactly where you are. The New York Jazz Workshop offers private trumpet lessons with a roster of working professional trumpeters and dedicated educators.
Our approach is rooted in jazz, but our teachers are versatile performers fluent in rock, funk, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and contemporary styles. Developing your jazz foundation will make you a stronger musician in any genre.
Trumpet lessons can take place at our dedicated studio in Midtown Manhattan, at your teacher’s studio in neighborhoods across the city, or online from anywhere in the world. You can also explore our full faculty here.
Every teacher is an active performer on the NYC music scene. You learn technique and musicality from someone who plays it every night.
Complete beginners to advanced players — jazz, rock, funk, Latin, Brazilian and more. Our teachers build a foundation that travels across every genre.
In-person at our Midtown Manhattan studio (studio time is free when you lesson there), at your teacher’s studio elsewhere in the city, or online from anywhere in the world.
We handle booking, scheduling, and billing through our platform. You focus on playing — we take care of the logistics.
We hire our teachers as W-2 employees. That means fair pay, sick leave, access to a retirement plan with employer matching, and full payroll protections — something that’s still rare in music education, but shouldn’t be. All teachers are also covered by workers’ compensation and general liability insurance.

Your first lesson is an assessment and orientation — your teacher will get to know your background and goals, then design a learning path that makes sense for you. Progress is visible from the very first session.
We hire our teachers as W-2 employees. That means fair pay, sick leave, access to a retirement plan with employer matching, and full payroll protections — something that’s still rare in music education, but shouldn’t be.
