Trombone Lessons in Shrewsbury, NJ

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone

For beginning students, I typically use Essential Elements or Standard of Excellence (whichever they are not using in school if any). I use these series until a student has progressed enough at the fundamentals of playing that specific functions can be addressed. At that point, I will begin to split instruction into flow studies, flexibility, tone, air movement, and articulation, drawing from a variety of books created by some of the world's leading brass musicians.

Having a comfortable, supportive environment for private lessons is very important to me. Nothing is worse than being scared of your private instructor!

Knowing things that they would like to accomplish in one lesson, 4 lessons, 8 lessons etc. is a great way to keep students motivated. Read More
