Trombone Lessons South

Instruments: Piano, Trombone, Euphonium

I've been teaching piano, low brass, and composition for eight years, with students ranging from elementary school to graduate school. I have enjoyed teaching students individually as well as in group settings. My individual piano students have studied classical, jazz, and pop styles with me, and I've worked on classical/band music and jazz with my brass students. I have worked in public schools and programs for academically advanced students, and I have worked students with special needs. Read More

My teaching approach begins by meeting the students where they are in regards to musical capability. We soon push the boundaries of what they think they are capable of and allows them to apply the music theory in real time. A consistent schedule, whether it be during our schedule lesson or a follow up email packet, is the distinctive difference in my lesson plans. This practice regimen should continue long after our scheduled lessons and should be one of many vital keys to your child's future successes. Read More

Instruments: Trombone

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

Instruments: Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Music

When I was in college in the 90s I began teaching several high school students on euphonium. As the euphonium teacher at the Army School of Music, I gave lessons to euphonium, trombone, and tuba players from intermediate to advanced abilities. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Ukulele, Euphonium, Tuba

My methods are based primarily on the needs and the interests of the student.  I am very flexible and can adapt my teaching to fit these needs and interests.  Students come from many different backgrounds and teaching to the ways they are either most comfortable or to fit the needs of their public school music teacher (if applicable) is essential for success. I have gained a great deal of experience teaching online-format lessons and have been finding ways to make the most of the format. Read More
