Trombone Lessons South

In my opinion, my goal for the student is to be motivated, and stay motivated to try to also work at their instrument outside their lessons on their own. I would not want to cram information down their throats, but I also would not want to spend too much time on tasks that would get the student or myself carried away. The process of slowing things down and working them in chunks is, in my opinion, very efficient because the retention sets in really well and it also helps the student get in the habit of how to practice properly, and this goes for any level of student.

Ever since high school, I have enjoyed teaching other students. In college, I would travel to nearby schools to tutor middle and high school instrumental students. My first job out of college was teaching at a charter school where I saw all the students in the school for 9 week periods. We established an after school band where private lessons were the main form of growth. In my next job, I taught students from beginning, in sixth grade, through their senior year of high school.

How I work when it comes to my teaching is I first try and see where and how you react when it come to me teaching you. The one thing that is not going to happen is you are not going to get the techniques or teachings that I teach you in one lesson. You have to at least work on it on your own. But at the same time, if you have any questions while you are practicing you can always call me and I will help you with any way I can. Read More
