Experienced tutor in Trumpet in Richmond, Daniel offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Dan Egan has tutored our son in trumpet throughout middle school and into his current junior year of high school. Dan was able to spot both his talents and weak areas immediately and gave him the confidence and enthusiasm to build on his gifts. He gently and persistently corrects bad habits before they become bad technique. While Dan is able to bring a child who aspires to a career in music to the level where they can compete for a position or admittance to a program, he is also able to motivate the child that loves to play but won't major in music. Henry won first chair position at his high school through Dan's tutelage and is learning the theory required to create harmonious spontaneous solo riffs for his Jazz band performances with the Conrad O. Johnson Jazz group. Dan has instilled a love of trumpet playing and in learning about classical and jazz music that will last throughout our son's lifetime. Dan is also a role model for the class, quality of life, friendships, travel, service to others and respect that one garners by following that passion for music into a career. We admire his talents but also his kindness. I highly endorse him as a tutor!

It has been a true pleasure to have Mr. Egan as our son’s trumpet teacher. He is super friendly, engaging, and responsive. My son always looking forward to having his trumpet lesson every week. He said not only did Mr. Egan help him with his trumpet techniques such as breathing, scales, double tongue, and vibrato, he also gave him guidance on music interpretation and music theory. Mr. Egan diligently helped my son prepare for the Houston Youth Symphony 2021-22 and Interlochen Art Camp auditions summer 2021 and 2022, both with successful results. In fact, Mr. Egan even went out of town and personally helped us test and selected a trumpet. We feel very fortunate to have Mr. Egan as my son’s music teacher.

Not only did Dan teach technique and improve the overall trumpet performance of my son, he encouraged an enthusiasm for the trumpet in him that was life changing. Dan worked with my son both virtually and in-person. He was very flexible and always found the time to get lessons in. When my son was auditioning for college, Dan was always available for consultation and direction. His attention not only to detail but to my son was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Dan Egan as a trumpet private lesson teacher.

I implore anyone looking for a trumpet teacher to consider Mr. Daniel Egan. You'll leave every lesson feeling invigorated!
What's unique about studying with Mr. Egan? Unlike most trumpet teachers and players who've gotten complacent with their progress, he continues to hold a sense of youthfulness and seeks new ways to improve both technically and artistically. Consequently, this propels into his teaching, allowing him to use a toolbox with continuously expansive tools readily available for everyone's personal needs. Furthermore, Mr. Egan's ability to exemplify through the trumpet is unparalleled compared to most teachers and can help students conceptualize a beautiful vocal sound. Also, given the accolades as both a respected player and educator, Mr. Egan knows the pitfalls of trumpet playing to avoid, which has fostered success and self-satisfaction for myself and his highly esteemed Trumpet Studio.
Mr. Egan is very compassionate and has met every challenge and insecurity of mine with grace and guidance. I wouldn't be anywhere near the person or trumpet player I am today without the mentorship I've received from Dan Egan.
