Trombone Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Trombone

For students who aren't members of an ensemble, I start with Essential Elements for beginners. Once they have a good grasp of the instrument, I will help them select fun and challenging pieces to learn to keep them engaged and progressing. For more experienced students, I act as a tutor, helping them polish their technique and tone quality while also introducing them to more advanced techniques as they become ready for them. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Music

I'm a very passionate and motivated educator who loves sharing that passion and motivation with my students. I'm currently attending Metropolitan State University of Denver getting my bachelor's in trumpet performance. I've been playing the trumpet since I was 11, but really found that it was my calling in my junior year of high school where I decided to pursue a degree in something that I love! Since then, I have won the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award in 2018, played with the Parker Symphony as the assistant principal trumpet, have played with the Colorado Brass, the Rocky Mountain Jazz Orchestra, and the Mariachi Los Caracaminos de MSU, as well as many other chamber ensembles both professionally and at my university.

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Orchestral Percussion, Latin Percussion, Music

In Middle school, I began tutoring classmates in mathematics and realized the importance of making the intangible, accessible and that not everyone will innately use the same approach, method, process or visualization to arrive at the solution. In High school I tutored German and Casteon, and it became obvious that "How" we hear is extremely important to "what" we hear, and, are able to replicate. In college, I tutored Music Theory and Voice class which broadened my awareness of what other people want to do and get out of the musical efforts and experiences. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Trombone, Flute, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I taught general music, choir, piano, and band in the public schools. I also worked in an after school youth orchestra, teaching woodwinds. Before that, I taught guitar to friends and some beginning students. I also helped my classmates who were learning guitar. I have mostly worked with beginners, and some more intermediate students. I have taught in the classroom setting and small group lessons, and some one-on-one lessons. I feel my greatest strength is teaching beginners and elementary aged students. Read More

Instruments: Trombone

My parents are both teachers so I come from a background of educators. I have been teaching for the last 3 years as I was completing my degree at CU Boulder. Even though I am a jazz trombonist, I focus on finding music that students like, not that I personally want to play. I also highly recommend students to write their own music and play it back on trombone as a way to actualize the songs that are playing throughout their lives. Read More
