Trombone Lessons Hockley County, TX

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Drums, Euphonium, Tuba

For each lesson, I begin with a 5 to 10 minute warmup before moving on to the student's assigned music.  I like to alternate between actual performance/practicing, and teaching concepts including music theory.  I also wrap-up every lesson by spending 5 minutes in review with the student, going over what they need to practice in the coming week ahead.

I currently teach part-time lessons out of my home studio in Copperas Cove, Texas. I focus on bringing out students talents and highlighting areas where they can improve, while bringing out their interest in growing as a musician. Though lessons are a key point in improving upon a students skills, consistent practice schedules at home are also an important step to growth in skill level.

It always gets me when a student that is stuck on a part of their music finally understands and performs the passage perfectly. Read More

I use many different methods in my lessons in order to make my students successful in their musical career. Students are assessed of their playing ability during the first lesson. Students are then provided goals and recommendations for the year. Read More
