Reuben Christman

I did a major in classical trumpet playing at the School of Music, University of Western Australia. The faculty is currently number 2 in Australia and in the top 40 music schools in the world.  Since then I have divided my time between playing classical and contemporary music - Jazz, Reggae, Pop, Funk, Soul and teaching in Australia and overseas.  My playing has landed me 2 WAMI's and another nomination among other accolades.   My work as a composer writing  classical music has been used for advertisements, ceremonies presentations and films.

 I teach in a fairly informal manner which I am comfortable with due to the excellent results I continue to see in my pupils. My approach to trumpet playing is multifaceted.  Although technique is paramount to playing the instrument well, I also aim to look into aspects encompassed within musicianship itself.   Playing music well is no different to any other skill.  It requires a high level of commitment and discipline on the part of the individual.  Though I encourage  all pupils to take their time and enjoy the journey!
