After two false starts with previous trumpet instructors, we finally found the perfect match with Alex. We couldn’t be luckier! He has been fantastic for our son, Theo.
Alex has established a strong connection with Theo that was missing with the previous teachers. Theo feels comfortable during their lessons—he asks questions, shares laughs, and truly respects Alex, which keeps him focused both in lessons and during practice.
As busy parents, we also appreciate Alex’s punctuality and professionalism. The growth in Theo’s playing abilities since he started with Alex two and a half years ago has been remarkable. We eagerly look forward to watching his continued development under Alex’s guidance.
Alex has been an amazing trumpet teacher for my son Rocco over the past two years. Alex was the first person to ever teach Rocco when he picked up a trumpet for the very first time. Now, my younger son is also taking lessons with Alex, and we’re thrilled with his progress too.
Alex is incredibly patient with both of my children and connects with them so well that they really grasp what he’s teaching. He makes learning easy to understand, which keeps them engaged and excited about their lessons. Alex has a unique ability to keep both of my sons’ attention and walks them through each lesson in a way that is easy to understand.
Thanks to Alex, Rocco is now one of the top trumpet players in his grade. He’s a great teacher…we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch trumpet instructor.
Our first experience with Alex was eight weeks of private trumpet lessons for our 8th-grade daughter over the summer. Having played the trumpet myself as a youth, I thought she had the capacity to grow in her ability, but I did not have the tools or knowledge to help; so I found Alex and he did an amazing job helping her break into a new skill level. What Alex did exceptionally well was reinforcing fundamental Trumpet playing techniques, such as how to position the tongue, how to breath, how the lips should be positioned on the mouthpiece, buzzing, and singing the music.
I remember in middle school when I went from just playing the notes, to making music with the notes, and during one lesson I heard my daughter make that transition, and I was super excited and I give Alex the credit for his patience and persistence on having her get the little details right so that the whole thing comes together.
Alex Pinto is obviously a very gifted trumpeter and anyone should be excited to have him as their instructor. We will seek to hire him again in the future.
