Trombone Lessons South

Instruments: Trombone

Collaborative--I like to inspire students with the potential sound of this beautiful instrument--the trombone is unlike any other instrument, and the success or failure depends on the internal drive students are willing to apply.

I teach from a variety of materials including Rubank Method, Standard of Excellence for beginners. I have created my own curriculum standards for beginners that enforces fundamentals before adding music. This allows students to develop an ear for tonality, modality, intervals, tone quality, and timbre. It also serves the purpose of learning rhythm by sound before sight to create a solid habit of subdividing beats of music. As students transition to music by sight, they have more understanding of the core components of music, rhythm, pitch and musicality and executive skills. Read More
