Hi! My name is Jackson Levin, and I am a trumpet instructor and brass specialist. Specializing in trumpet performance and pedagogy, I earned my bachelor's degree in music performance from the Herb Alpert School of Music at UCLA. I've played trumpet for over 18 years and have studied with lauded trumpet players, including Jens Lindemann, Thomas Hooten, Jennifer Marotta, and Adam Luftman. As a performer, I've played with the UCLA Philharmonia, Wind Ensemble, Brass Ensemble, and Early Music Ensemble. I am currently a participating member of the Stanford Medicine Orchestra and have performed in various pit orchestras for many student-led musical productions, including Fiddler on the Roof, Assassins, Sweeney Todd, and Cinderella (to name a few). I was the lead trumpet player in a jazz septet from 2008-2012, and currently play in a jazz quartet alongside three other Bay Area Musicians: Patrick Talesfore, Jr., Jesus Ramos, and Nima Hafezieh. Overall, I have a strong background in classical and jazz performance. As a music educator, I firmly believe in the importance of offering gentle and supportive guidance to my students while working collaboratively through difficult musical concepts and techniques. By emphasizing the importance of patience and perseverance, I help students analyze difficult musical passages and phrases using a measure-by-measure approach. I believe that both attention to detail and freedom of creative expression can instill a deep understanding and lifelong passion for music that inspires students to derive both joy and curiosity in their practice and performance.
