Olubanjo Ijiyemi

Hello! I’m a professional Trumpet Player and performing musician based in Lagos, Nigeria. I have years of experience playing with live bands and teaching trumpet to students of all ages, both in person and online.

My lessons are practical, fun, and results-focused. I specialize in helping beginners and ABRSM Grades 1-5 students build a strong foundation. In our lessons we will focus on:
1. **Tone and Sound Quality**: Getting a clear, beautiful trumpet sound from day one
2. **Breath Control**: The secret to playing long notes and phrases without getting tired
3. **Technique**: Slurs, legato tonguing, and clean connection between notes so you sound musical
4. **Sight Reading & Theory**: Using ABRSM materials to prepare you for exams with confidence
5. **Songs and Repertoire**: We’ll play real music you enjoy, not just exercises

My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and tailored to you. I break down difficult techniques into simple steps so you improve every single week. I’ve trained students from complete beginner to advanced level — one of my former students now performs professionally in a band.

Lessons are held online via Zoom and are or 60 minutes. I provide sheet music, backing tracks, and practice plans so you know exactly what to do between lessons.

Whether your goal is to pass ABRSM exams, join your school band, or just learn to play for fun, I’m here to guide you. Let’s make music together!

Note: I am based in Nigeria and teach online worldwide. I do not currently hold a UK DBS but I am willing to complete one if required for UK students.
