About Doug Ehlert 
Founder of New Brighton Music Academy

Doug Ehlert has been teaching piano and trumpet for over 20 years. He holds a BA in Music from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and brings more than 25 years of performance experience to every lesson.

As a working musician, Doug performs trumpet and piano in classical and jazz settings — including appearances with orchestras such as the Wisconsin Philharmonic, the Beloit Symphony, and the Oshkosh Symphony — and performs for private events and venues across the Midwest.

That performance background isn't just a credential. It shapes how Doug teaches — with a focus on helping students understand music, not just play notes.

Lessons are available in your home, making quality instruction accessible for busy families throughout the New Brighton area.
