Trombone Lessons Westchester County, NY

Instruments: Trombone, Recorder

I've also found that a combination of classical and jazz studies can go a long way in helping students enjoy playing trombone and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then I'm not doing my job! My students are encouraged to enter competitions and recitals, as well as work on composing their own original material, so they can feel good about their accomplishments and stay motivated to learn.

My number one priority is for students to enjoy the music we play. Sometimes it can be hard work, but I want to make sure that the student leaves the lesson feeling excited about what they worked on, and ready to go home and practice. It is important to pay attention to how a student is reacting to the material being taught. I will often try and change up routine, or throw in something exciting or familiar. Read More

I like to follow a format for lessons, giving a certain amount of time to warming up, practicing technical studies and scales, etudes or lessons, solo literature and ensemble (duet, trio, ensemble) literature. I would encourage students to make an agenda for practicing, I believe many student need to learn how to practice, much like study skills, so they can make good use of their time. I teach students how to mark their music, how to break apart difficult sections and how to set goals for each week. Read More
