Miami Beach, FL Trombone Lessons

35 + yrs playing/teaching experience
Classical to Jazz
Fun mixed with work

I am a professional full time Trombonist. At the same time, teaching has always been a big part of who I am - I love teaching. My music career has taken me around the world and back but more than that it has given me a wonderful tool of self expression, and for that I am forever grateful. My band performs regularly in Opera houses as well as coffee houses... Other than the Trombone I do play the Trumpet as well, and I have over 8 years of Piano under my belt.

I've been teaching Music for 5 plus years and my students have gone on to accomplish great things. My goal and challenge for every student is to teach them how to play, read and listen to music. This will enable them the ability to play any song and any style of music. I specialize in Jazz, R&B and Classical. Typically I learn my students leaning habits whether its hands on or visual and their attention span, so I can't effectively teach my students. Can't wait to meet you!

With almost a decade of teaching experience, I provide a personalized approach to learning this beautiful instrument. For younger students, I also include aspects of music theory and aural skills into my lessons. Have any questions or would like to set up a lesson? Contact me! I would love to get you or your student on a path to success.

Experienced Music teacher of 8 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of their instrument and theory skills. I specialize in all styles. Typically, I use a variety of method books to pick from to meet the needs of the students. I also have many tools available to use during lessons.
My students have gone on to NYSSMA and on to college auditions successfully!

Hi! I have a Bachelors in Music Education and have experience teaching many beginning students! I have 3 children and decided to give up regular teaching to be with them. I marched Drum and Bugle Corp and was taught a lot about Brass instruments during that time. I played a straight Baritone and Mellophone in different years. I believe that tone production is the most important area of study. It doesn’t matter what you can play if it doesn’t sound good. I can’t wait to help more students love to “play” on their instruments!

Hello! Through my four years at the Juilliard School I have taken lessons with some of the worlds most prominent trombonists, including Elliot Mason, Steve Turre and Joe Alessi. In addition, I have a vast experience of teaching both classical and jazz students. I've created my own general lesson plan comprised of exercises I have received from these world renown teachers, as well as from other working professionals in NY.

I'm very quick to notice your skill level and create a cohesive, unique lesson plan catered to working on your weaknesses and polishing your strengths! A mediocre teacher will simply give you default exercises to work on-- a task better left to google. A good teacher, however, can diagnose a student and find the most efficient way for he/she to improve.

I promise to be a caring, fun, informative teacher. Please contact me for more information about my lessons.

Teaching is my biggest passion, I can't wait to work with you!
Happy practicin'!

PS- ask ...

I have studied trombone actively for 22 years and I'm well-versed in several styles of music. Everything from classical to Broadway stage production to be-bop, funk, neo-soul and everything in between. Students will be able to shape their sound with a skilled professional who can give excellent direction and find the shortest path to obtaining the style and skills they are looking for.

I have trained at The Mannes College of Music and at The Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Belgium. I teach all levels of students who wish to learn classical, jazz improvisation, avant-garde, free-improvisation, and studio trombone playing. I also have a master's degree in psychology and a doctorate in philosophy. Since 1998 I have been teaching trombone, piano, composition, theory, solfeggio, ear-training, & conducting.
