Trumpeter Rick Savage has a Performer’s Certificate in Jazz Studies from Indiana University and has been active on the New York music scene since 1986, heading up his own jazz bands and lending his talents to the Tania Maria Band, Gerry Mulligan, the orchestras of Tony Bennett, Nancy Wilson and many others.
This year alone he is featured on to two new CD releases, Eliot Zigmund’s “Standard Fare” & INNERrOUTe’s self titled release.
As an educator Rick now teaches privately after having taught for 11 years at the Ridgewood Conservatory, Ridgewood NJ, and taught extended assignments as band director in the Westchester NY schools. Lately he has been Skyping trumpet & jazz lessons with clients around the world.
Rick is especially gifted with beginning and intermediate students and has quite a track record placing his students in the various honor bands around the state of New Jersey.
Mr. Savage does an incredible job teaching trumpet to my 9 year old son. My son is enthusiastic about the trumpet in part because his teacher gives him fun and challenging pieces of music to work on and his steady improvement gives him confidence. Rick Savage is always professional, patient, and kind and I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning the trumpet.
