Ron’s first exposure to music was through hearing records and his father’s trumpet playing at home. When he was ten years old, he started playing the trumpet, first studying with his father and then later with Del Hartman. He later studied with Roy Cummings at the University of Washington where he earned a BA in music education. All throughout these years Ron developed a passion for all styles of music, particularly jazz through hearing the recordings of jazz players such as Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, and John Coltrane.
Upon graduating from college, Ron started working as a professional musician, first on cruise ships and then later on as a freelance musician in the Seattle area. He then began teaching privately and has been doing so for the last thirty years, first primarily teaching trumpet and then branching out to trombone and baritone as well. Ron is well-versed in teaching and playing all styles of music, having played Jazz, Classical, and Latin music, just to name a few.
Ron’s approach to teaching is relaxed and friendly while focusing on the fundamentals required to reach one’s goals on the instrument. It is his hope that his students will develop a life long love and appreciation for music and have a lot of fun!
In his spare time Ron likes to go on adventures with his furry friend Willow and play tennis.
