Trombone Lessons South

Instruments: Trombone, Ukulele, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

For beginning students, such as children I focus on developing strong fundamentals such as air control, mouthpiece blowing, and hand-eye coordination with their instrument. This slowly moves into rhythm and pitch reading for beginners. Intermediate to advanced students build on these fundamentals and also have the privilege of learning repertoire with performance possibilities. For adults I like to see what suits their personal interests and then work together to achieve their goals through mentorship and collaboration. Read More

Hello! My name is Regina and I love teaching music! It was clear to my parents at a young age that I loved music. Prior to starting classical guitar lessons at the age of five, I was performing in children's choirs. I started taking piano lessons at the age of eight and, throughout my middle and high school years, played trumpet and flute in concert and marching band. I graduated with a Bachelors in Music Education from the University of South Carolina in 2011. Read More

For beginner students I like to start away from books and notation and work on sound production and call and response.

Setting realistic goals while challenging the learner to grow is a delicate balance. Inspiring a love for practice is essential. There really is no magic to learning to play an instrument - you have to work at it - you just want that work to be fun! Read More

I believe that music should be a satisfying endeavor. Learning music should be a great balance of having fun in the moment, and the joy of seeing oneself grow and progress as an artist over time. I meet each and every student at their own level, wherever that may be, and help them grow. I like to talk to each student or parent about their goals in music with the understanding that many have very different goals. Read More
