Coralville, IA Trombone Lessons

**Currently accepting new students of all ages and instruments. Also able to do lessons every other week. ** (4/17/18)

As a professional brass musician, I have been teaching brass instruments for over twelve years.

For the beginner level, I have introduced many students to their first instrument ensuring that fundamentals are in place. At the intermediate level, I have helped many students advance in competitions and seat assignments within their band program. As a collegiate educator, I have given masterclasses at universities and private lessons to music performance students preparing for auditions and solo recitals.

I have taught online lessons for over four years and have used multiple online communication platforms to teach effective lessons. My students truly enjoy the online interaction during their lessons.

I have taught a wide variety of ages - everyone from 10 years old to 76 years old. One of the great joys I have in teaching is that each student brings their

I can help beginners get started or coach advanced students who are preparing for auditions.

I have ten years' experience teaching all brass instruments. Emphasis on tone production while covering other aspects from learning the positions to creating beautiful musical phrases.

I have been teaching trombone for 22 years. I have received about 14 years in trombone and specialize in it. I have produced 3 CDs with my brass group, Cornerstone Brass. I have an earned Masters degree in music and enjoy teaching students of all ages. I am happily married with 5 children at home--4 of them are musicians as well (the youngest is 4).. Students will quickly learn not only the basics of music theory, but will be playing songs as early as their first lesson. It is extremely rewarding watching students have fun, excel, and fall in love with making music. I presently teach music at 3 schools (1 college) and only have a few lessons slots available. I look forward to working with you.

I am a current band director focused on your student's success and mastery on the trombone. We will work on tone, range, and develop technique through a tailored lesson that will fit you or your student. I am also happy to supplement your child's band instruction and work on area/region honor band auditions with your child.

The Trombone is the single most powerful acoustic instrument in terms of size and efficiency. The thing's a cannon, and one just has to know how to use it right. My lessons will focus on enriching tone, increasing lung capacity, improving slide dexterity, strengthening embouchure, sharpening intonation (pun intended) and having fun with the mightiest of all wind instruments.

I am an experienced teacher of beginner and intermediate students! I like to make lessons enjoyable by implementing proper fundamentals through fun songs in a stress free environment ! I also like to create a solid foundation for learning technique, music theory, and sightreading! I look forward to working with you!

I have studied with some of the best trombone teachers in America. I studied extensively with Jay Friedman and members of the Chicago Symphony during my five years at Roosevelt University. I specialize in helping students develop efficient embouchures, expand their range, and cultivate a sense of artistic personality. I have placed many students in All-State ensembles, and helped many students earn top seating placements in their ensembles, as well as at Solo and Ensemble competitions.

I studied with some of the finest trombonists in the world while getting my undergrad degree in Jazz Studies from The Juilliard School in New York City. I have played the horn for over 13 years, and for 6 years professionally in New York working with people such as Wynton Marsalis, Ron Carter, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Juilliard Jazz Orchestra, in addition to regular performances at high level jazz clubs such as Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. Also as a composer I can offer lessons on composition, music theory, improvisation, ear training, and piano as well.

In addition to performance success, I have been teaching private students for 5 years, with several students still coming back when they are in town after several years.

Beginning students can expect to work on fundamentals of getting a good sound on the instrument and learning scales, arpeggios, and simple melodies.

Intermediate students can expect to be learning repertoire (the style dependent on what the student wants) and ...

I am an experienced performer and teacher specializing in trombone and euphonium. I have been performing for over 15 years and teaching for 10 years. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. My goal is to make learning and playing trombone and euphonium rewarding and fun. All ages are welcome. Let's get started!
