About Jeff
Jeff Purtle has given recitals in England, Wales, Scotland and the USA. He has spoken at the International Trumpet Guild Conference and hosted his own conferences. Jeff’s brass students are in all branches of the United States military, band directors from SC and other states, and students in the San Francisco Symphony, Charlotte NC Symphony, Greenville Symphony, Charleston Symphony, Augusta Symphony, Aiken Symphony, Jacksonville FL Symphony, and UK and Chinese orchestras. Some are touring in the UK and Europe. Jeff was personally certified by master teacher and author Claude Gordon. Jeff’s ebook “Hit it Hard & Wish It Well” is published in the Apple Books Store.
Showing students of all levels how brass playing can be so much easier and that things people often struggle with are easily conquered with the knowledge of how things work and how to systematically practice to retrain habits.
Claude Gordon changed my trumpet playing and in 1984 my first student was my nephew that was living with my family at the time when I was 16. He served as a fantastic guinea pig to test everything on that I was learning with Claude. His room was next to mine and we would both be practicing and I could easily say, "Stop. We need to fix that." It was probably more chalenging for him. He quickly became the best trumpet player at his school and knew exactly why.

My focus is more long term on showing students how to practice in a way that opens the door for future opportunities not otherwise possible. There is a very specific way to play trumpet and brass instruments correctly. However, there is much confussion that holds people back.
Touring England, Scottland, Wales, France, and Iceland and performing and presenting clinics while enjoying the beauty of traveling.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What books do you use? How much does the teacher practice? What do they practice? Do they have a practice routine? What are the last 5 books they completely covered and how long did it take them to do it? As an example, I have made several trips through the Saint Jacome Method that is nearly 400 pages long and the last time took well over SIX years to througly accomplish. Since studying with Claude Gordon I have played Herbert L. Clarke's Technical Studies multiple ways since 1984 spending at least 6 months of every year in that book. The point is that digesting the knowledge and practical experience from great method books takes much longer than a college degree in Trumpet Performance, which I also have. Learning is never ending, or should be. My currently library of method books, etudes, solos, and music and brass related books is over TWELVE feet tall and more than 50,000 pages. I know this because a couple years ago I scanned every page into PDF for easy access to teach online from now anyplace in the world I want to. Practice is fun and I want that to wear off on students. I have a serious passion for practice!

Call for pricing. Most people study weekly and that price is intentionally made cheaper to encourage regular study. However, some students fly in from outside of the USA for Crash Course lessons that can be several hours or even a couple days in a row.
