Trombone Lessons South

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba

My teaching experience starts 6 years ago when I started teaching marching band in Douglasville, Ga. I marched baritone with Spirit of Atlanta in 2013 and 2014. As time progressed, I started to teach music with local schools through Georgia State University and private connections as either a section coach or a private instructor. My private studio, with brass students, has been running for about two years now. I strive to place the student's interests first through my teaching while also covering the basics of what needs to be learned. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn

I do not believe there is a one size fits all approach to learning the trumpet. When starting with a new student, it is my priority to get to know them, what their background is, and what their goals are. I can then create a customized routine and practice plan for them to help them achieve their goals. This is based around the styles of music they would like to learn, how much time they are able to practice on a weekly basis, and their current level of play. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone

I like to spend a few minutes getting to know my students, and I always want to set the environment of learning to be as relaxed as possible.

Once I get to know what goals the students have, I can then set timelines and implement plans to help every student meet their goals. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Trombone, Flute, Clarinet

I like to spend the first lesson figuring out what the student knows so that I can formulate lesson plans that are relevant and chronological. Once a rapport is established, I introduce material that is both accessible and challenging and help the student work through the music. First we work on playing the right notes and rhythms, then we add musicality and expression. Read More

My experience in teaching private lessons goes back to high school when my band director prompted the All-District and All-State band members to give lessons to our sections after school, which allowed me to immediately transition into giving private lessons as a college student. I have given music lessons at Mason's School of Music in Tallahassee, provided lessons as a self-employed contractor, as well as having served as a trumpet /trombone instructor with the Goodwill Band in Tallahassee.
