About Christopher
The methodology I use makes use of modeling. It is similar to the adage "A picture is worth a thousand words". Students can progress quickly with this approach. Tone, range, dynamics, flexibility, tonguing, finger control, intonation and sight-reading are all part of developing a trumpeter who is musical.
I love teaching trumpet. Aside from helping students at times with Advanced Placement Music Theory questions my focus is on teaching trumpet. I was extremely fortunate to have studied with several trumpet teachers that influenced me greatly and I like to pass that enthuasism and knowledge along to others.
I have many years experience teaching trumpet privately. My studio is well setup to teach via Zoom or in person. I utilize excellent microphones and share an IPad Pro with my computer screen so student and teacher are literally on the same page.
I am retired from a very successful and rewarding 32 year career as a high school band director where I conducted concert band, wind ensemble, jazz bands brass ensembles and other ensembles. I also actively freelanced as a professional trumpet player for decades.
I began teaching students as an undergraduate. I worked many years as a freelance trumpeter. Certified to teach music by the state of New Jersey.

I studied with Professor Emeritus William Adam at IU and try to utilize his pedagogical approach to trumpet instruction. A beautiful sound is the most important aspect of playing. Technical aspects such as range, endurance, flexibility, tonguing, sight-reading are some of the facets of my approach to teaching trumpet.
Beginner to advanced.I like working with different types of students from young to adults.
Find someone highly qualified, experienced, and who possess a strong knowledge of brass pedagogy and most importantly, find someone that can model their sound to help you develop yours!
Having students successfully audition for college and university as well as regional and all state honor bands. Currently my students are in the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, Bravo Brass, Philadphia Young Artist Orchestra.

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to real lessons experienced by the students of Christopher.
Perfect! Mr. Norris is an outstanding trumpet teacher and mentor to my son and brings passion, years of experience and superior technical skills to each lesson. The exercises and insight Mr. Norris provides at each lesson have been invaluable. My son has improved on multiple levels in range, articulation; his ability to play dynamically, and more expressively has improved; and he has a deeper appreciation for reading and listening to music. Our family is so grateful to have met such a great teacher and wonderful person!

Mr. Norris is an exceptional teacher and mentor to my daughter, who is an 8th grader now.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, he was well-prepared and adept at remote teaching when we started a couple of years ago.
His passion and expertise in trumpet playing is evident in his effective teaching methods and vast knowledge.
What stands out most to me is Mr. Norris' exceptional communication skills. He is attentive to his student’s needs and always willing to work with them to solve any problems they may have. His positive attitude and support have greatly impacted my daughter's growth and development.
I am truly grateful to Mr. Norris for guiding my daughter in the right direction!Mr Norris is very patient, highly knowledgeable and is excellent working with children of any age. He has helped improve our son’s ability to play trumpet in a very short period of time. He ALWAYS goes above and beyond at every lesson.
Christopher Norris is an amazing trumpet instructor. His trumpet knowledge is unsurpassed. He has an interactive teaching style that greatly benefits his students. Most importantly, Christopher Norris understands his students. He knows how hard to push them and when to take it easy. He has a genuine love of the trumpet and his students. My son is in his 6th year of lessons with Christopher Norris and he has improved exponentially and still loves playing his trumpet and going to his lessons. I highly recommend trumpet lessons with Christopher Norris, whether you're a beginner or have been playing for years.
Mr. Norris is the utmost professional and exactly what we were looking for in a teacher. My daughter has been taking lessons with him for nearly two years and she has significantly improved during that time. He helped her for a jazz band audition, where she made it in and is now helping her prep for an audition for all SJ band. He is so kind and gives clear instructions and corrections. And he is easy to reach and is always prompt in returning an email or call. He is simply the BEST and I just can’t say enough about how fortunate we are to have found him!
I’m currently a senior at Berklee College of Music double majoring in Film Scoring and Composition. When I was in high school, I studied AP Music Theory with Mr. Norris and earned a 5 on the AP Music Theory Exam. Mr. Norris modifies his teaching approach to match the individual needs of each student. He engages the students by playing examples on the piano and trumpet and playing audio examples of multiple genres, while establishing the foundation of different concepts. His passion and enthusiasm for teaching music theory encouraged me to do my best and motivated me to pursue music beyond the classroom.
Christopher Norris excels in being able to teach music theory to students of all skill levels in a way that makes the difficult topics easy to pick up on and master. He ensures that I and his other students understand every topic very well before moving on, and is able to connect newer, more difficult topics to simpler ones to make them easier to understand. Above all, Christopher Norris is very engaging and committed to his students and makes learning music theory a fun process.
