Joshua Hunter

I'm a trumpet teacher and commercial trumpet player based in Turramurra, and I've been tutoring since 2019. I hold a Bachelor of Music with honours specialising in Jazz Trumpet from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and I teach at schools including Turramurra Public School, Epping North Public School, Lane Cove Public School, and both SHORE Sydney Church of England Preparatory School and Senior School.

Over the years I've worked with school-aged students from complete beginners through to HSC performance, as well as adults who are just starting out or picking the trumpet back up. Alongside teaching, I perform in symphony orchestras, concert and wind bands, brass bands, big bands, small jazz ensembles, in musical pits, and in trumpet solo competitions. Additionally, I've toured Australia performing with international artists and this year won the 2026 Australian National Brass Band Open A Grade section with Willoughby City Brass Band.

In my lessons I take a holistic and individualised approach to teaching music and the trumpet. Alongside teaching the practical skills needed to play the instrument, I also incorporate music theory and aural elements to create well rounded musicians out of my students, and deliver these lessons in an personalised way that caters to the students' personality, skill level, ambitions, and way of learning.
