Lone Tree, IA Tuba Lessons

Help me get you started on the largest instrument of the brass family!

My mission, is to create a private and educational environment to students of all ages. One that enriches their senses to music, through reading, writing, ear training, performance and technique.

Tuba can be a difficult instrument to learn! Learn the skills to develop a great sound and a large range...especially those low notes!

I teach absolute beginners, intermediate and advanced students. I work with them on technique, strong fundamentals, sound production and the repertoire of band and orchestra music.

i have over Thirty Years experience of playing and teaching brass instruments. I have played in orchestras, wind bands and jazz bands.I believe that teaching any instrument demands hard work by the pupil ,but that hard work will eventually enable them to make excellent and lasting progress. I also believe that the lessons should be interesting ,creative and fun !

I teach to each student individually, using a fundamental approach to tuba playing.

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!

Teaching the tuba is a particular passion of mine. I have enjoyed helping students with sound production, technique and developing their musicality. I believe in building a firm foundation with a good tone quality and proper technique. I enjoy helping students reach their potential!

I have helped many tuba students place in All-State ensembles, compete for seating placements, and earn top marks in solo and ensemble competitions.
