About

Trumpeter Paul Murphy has worked frequently as a musician and educator at The Juilliard School, Carnegie Hall, the New York Philharmonic, and on Broadway. He has performed with the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, the Knights, the International Contemporary Ensemble, the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra, and is a co-founder and former Artistic Director for the chamber music collective Decoda—the only independent ensemble to be recognized as an affiliate ensemble of Carnegie Hall. Passionate about drawing others deeply into the art of music, he served for over a decade on the teaching artist faculty of the New York Philharmonic, and was recognized in 2019 as one of the inaugural recipients of the Yale Distinguished Teaching Artist Award. He teaches in the summer at the Kinhaven Music School in Vermont.

Teaching Style

My teaching style focuses on your needs and goals as a student. Nothing gets me more excited than helping my students learn to play and master the trumpet--lessons and exercises are tailored to fit your needs.
