Private Lessons & Coaches in Glendale, AZ

Music has always been my greatest passion, and for two decades, I've had the privilege of sharing that passion with my students. I specialize in shaping aspiring brass musicians, helping them develop their technique and discover the joy of creating beautiful music. French Horn & Trumpet are my main instruments, but I am able to teach any brass or music student. I am also able to tutor for college entrance exams or courses in ear training and music theory. My teaching style is engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student's individual needs and aspirations. I will always meet students at the level they are at and help them improve on their struggles and goals.

"When I was completing my degree in Music Education at ASU, I took some private lessons with Jaici. She was a TA for the Horn Studio so I had some lessons with her. Jaici was very knowledgeable and helpful as a teacher. I never felt stressed before going to a lesson with her because I knew she would help me with the things I was struggling with. I enjoyed playing duets and working on advanced playing techniques with her. Now we both work together as music teachers in the same school district! Jaici is a great private lessons teacher and I recommend taking lessons with her.
