What former students are saying

In a short period of time, Dr. Ganger was able to equip me with a plethora of knowledge and skills for success in this field.

"Dr. Ganger is a caring, supportive mentor who takes a keen interest in his students’ success. His kind demeanor and excellent musical skills make him a wonderful instructor who has both the expert knowledge and the earnest desire to help his students succeed. Under Dr. Ganger’s instruction, my playing improved dramatically, giving me both the skills and the confidence to succeed as a trumpet player. I highly recommend Dr. Ganger to anyone who is looking for an excellent trumpet instructor."
Jordan Koehlinger, Class of 2018, Indiana Wesleyan University
"I had taken trumpet lessons before meeting Josh, but after my lessons with Josh I feel like I can play the trumpet now. I think he's a good teacher for kids because he's so patient and he is great at knowing what you're struggling with and how to help you recover. In general I think he's a good teacher for anyone who may be interested in trumpet or is a long time trumpet player."
