I basically teach as I've been taught by the masters. There are musical essentials that must be mastered for every musician, with no exceptions.

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium

I began teaching private lessons four years ago, and have always desired to teach more students and share my love of music with them. It is important to me to know what my students' goals are so that I can tailor my instruction to meet their needs.
