Trombone Lessons South

Instruments: Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Flute, Clarinet, Piccolo, Mallet Percussion, Keyboard

I approach teaching in a very relaxed manner. If my students learn in a certain type of way I will differentiate my teaching style to accommodate them. I believe all students can learn and enjoy music, it is just a matter of finding the way that speaks to them the most. I do this by first seeing their experience level, asking where they are hoping to be, setting realistic goals, and by acknowledging their mile stones to keep their motivations high. Read More

For young beginners on piano (ages 4-6), I use Faber's "My First Piano Adventure." For beginners ages 7 and up, I use both Faber's "Piano Adventures" and the Alfred's Piano Library. In addition to the lesson materials, theory is a crucial part of music study and a part of musical study that I require. As students grow in their ability, I find out what their interests are and we start to incorporate in standard repertoire and other songs that the student desires to learn. Read More

For beginning level students of any age, I will begin lessons by going over basic fundamentals of sheet music reading (notation, connecting the instrument to the literature) and music theory that will aid them in accomplishing homework tasks independently. For experienced students, I will ask the student to demonstrate knowledge and playing to their best ability to obtain a better understanding of where to continue their studies. I will also ask all students what kind of music they are already studying and what else they would like to pick up from there (studying classical contemporary for school band with an interest in starting jazz music, etc.) I will always consider the students age and playing level to appropriately create lesson plans that will ensure growth over time.
