As a seasoned trumpet player and retired Army musician, I bring a lifetime of musical expertise to every performance and teaching opportunity. As the owner of Chad McGill Music, LLC, I provide professional trumpet services tailored to any occasion, from weddings and church services to community events and public performances. My goal is to create memorable musical experiences that elevate every moment.

Beyond performing, I am deeply committed to music education. As an adjunct professor at Chowan University and Paul D. Camp College, I take pride in shaping the next generation of musicians. My dedication to the field extends to my doctoral research in Music Education, where I have explored the impact of Appalachian music on music education along the Crooked Road. Through both performance and academia, I strive to inspire, educate, and contribute to the art form.

My performance career includes collaborations with renowned ensembles such as Symphonicity and The Tidewater Winds in Virginia Beach, VA. I am also a featured musician with Tidewater Arts Outreach and perform regularly for travelers at Norfolk International Airport. My services primarily focus on solo trumpet performances with professionally arranged backing tracks, but I also have the capability to form a brass ensemble if needed. Whether you’re looking for a dynamic soloist to elevate your event or expert guidance in music education, I am dedicated to bringing your musical vision to life with passion and professionalism.
