J.C.  flexes his teaching chops as the trumpet professor at the West Chester University School of Music. And as the Conference Director for the International Trumpet Guild, J.C. uses his organizational skills as a force for good for the trumpet world.
Check out what J.C. has to say about teaching at Westchester University, his inspiration to become a teacher, maturing as a teacher, learning to relate to his students, the never ending path of progress, building relationships, being the ITG Conference Director, the benefits and drawbacks of virtual conferences, future plans, the big changes he would like to see, Pacho Flores, surrounding yourself with better people, and so much more!
