BEN RATTANAVONG – EDUCATOR AND PERFORMER
TRUMPET & BRASS LESSONS FROM A PRO ANYWHERE, ANYTIME
Hi, I’m Ben!
I’ve been performing and teaching trumpet players just like you around the world for a decade. I’ve played trumpet for Best- selling Video Games, Netflix TV Shows, Animes, and more! Although performing trumpet is great, my real passion is for teaching and sharing the gift that music brings our lives. That’s why I’m so excited to be opening my teaching studio to the online platform!
