I took trombone lessons with Brent for over 5 years. He always pushed me to improve while giving the tools and encouragement I needed to succeed. I always enjoyed going to my lessons and really value the skills he was able to teach me.
Brent always pushed me as a student. He taught me trombone, and although trombone isn't his primary instrument of study, he is very knowledgeable and taught me from beginner to a high level. He was relaxed yet still pushed me to improve, and we have a good relationship because of that. Fun, passionate teacher.
