Studio
Microphone technique, recording yourself and listening back constructively.
Before you enquire
Good to know.
Does the club replace regular trumpet lessons?
No. Trumpet Club UK supplements and works alongside a pupil’s existing lessons. It focuses on practical group musicianship that may not always fit into one-to-one tuition.
Can a pupil study with another teacher?
Yes. Pupils can have regular lessons with any teacher. Jemma does not need to be their existing trumpet teacher.
Who can take part?
The club is for trumpet players aged 8–18 at any ability level, from complete beginners to advanced young musicians.
Where and when are sessions held?
Sessions take place fortnightly on Sundays at 13:00 and last between one and two hours. The exact Essex venue is shared privately after a parent or guardian requests a place and Jemma follows up.
What should pupils bring?
Jemma will confirm what is needed before the session, including any music or equipment required for that particular week.
How much does it cost?
The fee is £15 per session. Jemma will confirm practical payment arrangements when she follows up.
For parents and guardians
Request a place.
Send the pupil’s details and Jemma will follow up personally with availability and the private venue information. A request does not confirm a booking.
