Trombone Lessons Northeast

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Euphonium, Tuba, Keyboard

I began teaching private lessons in college with a few students that went to the school and I fell in love with helping people reach their musical goals. With the 6 years of teaching experience I have realized that the skills you get from learning an instrument are more important than we think, it helps with problem solving and critical thinking. Also critical listening is the biggest skill that you will develop. Read More

I have been teaching private lessons for the past eight years. I have taught from beginners to college-level lessons. I have found that passion and progress are key factors in younger students. I enjoy combining the classic pieces for each instrument, but also adding in modern music so the students can really enjoy and have the motivation to practice. My students are encouraged to perform in competitions, recitals, and end of the year recitals. Read More

Instruments: Trombone, Euphonium

In the first lesson, I always make sure to spend the time gauging the student's skill level. For beginners, I will look to introduce them to Herbert L. Clarke's studies in technique for euphonium players. For trombones, I look to be sure they are hitting trombone positions accurately and quickly, using either the same Clarke book or by using the first exercises in Arban's essentials for trombone. At the intermediate level, I begin to use the Rochut etude books so that all students can grasp musicality and phrasing in a simple setting. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba

As much as possible, I want my students to guide the direction of their lessons and their growth as musicians. Helping students to set realistic goals and then providing the tools needed to achieve those goals are key components to my teaching philosophy. Nothing is more exciting than feeling yourself perform something that, not so long ago, you thought you'd never be able to play. By working with the student to discover what they enjoy practicing and performing, I'm able to individualize my instruction for each student to allow them to make the most of their time with me and leave each lesson feeling confident and proud of their playing abilities.

I have been a musician forever and I just love making music with others and inspiring everyone to raise their voice through music. It is my favorite thing to get lost in a song or dig deep into the musical process. I travel the world making music with others and mostly enjoy playing clarinet, singing and conducting, but I have a special love for percussion and learning new instruments as well. Read More
