Dear Mr. Plylar,
Thank you for everything you’ve helped me accomplish with my trumpet. I’ve learned a lot and it has
helped me to improve drastically since I began taking lessons with you. Thank you so much.
Your friend,
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Plylar,
I just want to thank you for the eight outstanding years of trumpet lessons. Not only were they the
definite cause of the success I’ve enjoyed on the trumpet, but they also managed to do more for me
than just to teach me to play the trumpet. Having Arizona’s two best teachers proved to also add to
the foundation of my character, with music and trumpet being among my greatest passions. I can’t
thank you enough for always providing the best quality lessons as well as friendship.
Thanks for eight great years!
What parents say:
First, thank you very much for making such big difference in L...’s playing - and even more importantly,
her self-confidence. She really enjoys her lessons and comes home feeling reenergized. She was feeling
so frustrated with the braces - you have been a tremendous help........Thanks again for all that you have
done in four lessons! L. looks forward to her next one!
E’s first nine months at the Academy have helped him grow tremendously as a trumpet player, in
technique, tone, and musicianship. Thanks.
My son started taking trumpet lessons from Russ Plylar in the fourth grade and has continued taking lessons through his senior year in high school. He has learned so much from both Deborah and Russ in this time. Not only has he grown in his talent as a trumpet player, but he has learned so much about music and it’s value in so many other things he does.
Through the Academy, he has learned so much about music, performing, how to handle himself before judges and an audience, and his peers. He has learned so much about the importance of practice, being part of a group, and responsibility.
I highly recommend the Plylar Trumpet Academy for trumpet players at all levels.
The Plylar Trumpet Academy is student focused, offering students and their families engagement in
music education, “friendly” yet with standards offering positive challenges to students of all abilities.
Deborah - Thanks for working with J. - he has really improved so much in the short time he has spent
with you! We are so excited he has the opportunity to study music at the Academy. Thanks again for
everything!
A’s first six months at the Academy have been instrumental in him growing and performing at a level
that we had hoped for. He made his school’s and the SUSD honor and jazz bands. Thank you Russ.
