Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Music

I like to maintain a fun atmosphere in my lessons. Especially for younger students, there will always be moments of frustration, so encouragement is key. The trombone is a very difficult instrument, especially for beginners, but with the right encouragement and dedication any student can thrive. Once a student reaches a certain level or age, I believe if they want to grow on trombone they will. I will give them more independence to set their own goals and choose their own repertoire.

Without those goals, learning to play an instrument remains an overwhelming task! Read More

I began teaching privately at the age of 17, as a way to expand my knowledge and experience. Of the jobs I have and have had, teaching is by far my favorite. I feel that it not only helps my students to grow, but for me to grow as well. I love to teach students who are early on in their career, as it is easier to develop better habits and to fix any bad ones that may have formed prior to my teaching them. Read More
