Trombone Lessons Northeast

Instruments: Trombone, Euphonium

I look to be sure that each student enjoys the material as well as music as a whole. Therefore, each student should be able to progress at their own pace. As a student progresses, I do have an admittedly bad habit of speeding up material a bit too much, so I encourage all students to let me know when something is too much for them. As i look to select material, I like to do a 5 minute test run of the piece to ensure that students enjoy the material before assigning it. Read More

Instruments: Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba

I have been regularly teaching Euphonium, Tuba, and Trombone since 2020. I was primary Euphonium staff at 3 High Schools and 5 middle schools. I've taught ages 10-70, and my students regualrly find success at both solo and ensemble competitions, as well as regional and all state bands. I teach a wide range of materials, from method books and solos, to pop songs and marching tunes. I have experience teaching both in person and online, but have no issues driving to where a student is located. Read More

Instruments: Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, French Horn, Piccolo, Mallet Percussion, Oboe

I have taught private flute studnets since my Graduate School days, in 1994. My studets have reached NYSSMA level 6 and have played at college and scholarship auditions, NYSSMA solo festivals, in-house festivals as well as many other occasions. I know kids are busy and I am creative with using technology and simple "practice smarter not harder" strategies to help a student achieve his or her goals while still maintaining a busy schedule.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trombone, Synthesizer, Music, Keyboard

While every individual student is different, I approach every lesson I teach with the same support and encouragement in the student's playing. I believe that support and enthusiasm augments the student's drive and willingness to learn and improve, even when practicing can sometimes be difficult. The goal is that even after the lesson is over, the student will be thinking about what they want to play next time, and new things they want to learn. Read More

My students describe me as passionate, creative, interesting, and fun! After getting my bachelor's degree in music education from University of Maryland, I taught general, band, and strings in Montgomery County in Maryland. Then I taught ukulele, keyboard, drums, guitar, band, and choir in Dayton, Ohio. Now I am excited to teach lessons in Pittsburgh. While my main instrument is saxophone, where I teach all levels, I love to teach beginners on a variety of instruments, from voice and piano to keyboard and djembe! Read More
