Trombone Lessons in Cottontown, TN

Instruments: Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium Tuba

It's important to have fun while playing music and lessons shouldn't be an exception! During lessons I like to play duets and give small challenges, providing a interactive experience that encourages my students to enjoy the process of improving on their instrument. I expect my students to work hard while practicing and at lessons, though I understand every student learns differently and at a different pace. Ultimately it's the student's decision to become a better musician and I intend to do my best to lead the way. Read More

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium

For beginners I focus mostly on creating a solid tone, building the muscles around their embouchure for endurance, flexibility, and ear training. I typically will start working with students out of Book 2 of John Kinyon's Basic Training Course for Trombone. Eventually, I will introduce the student to more of the typical etude books like Voxman's Selected Studies, Arban's Famous Method for Trombone, and Joannes Rochut's Melodious Etudes for trombone. Once I feel a student is ready I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for the student's skill level and as my studio grows I hope to have students working together in small ensembles and perform in a recital.
