Brentwood, MD Trombone Lessons

Trombone is probably the most fun brass instrument. I enjoy getting beginners started and intermediate students to the next level.

I equally cover fundamentals, technique, tone production, classical, jazz and anything else the student might be interested in.

Whether you have never seen a trombone before or just want to brush up in your skills, you'll learn how to improve your flexibility, endurance and musicality, no matter what kind of music you like!

I will work with you to reach your goals in a way that suits your needs while having fun

Playing a brass instrument can be a fun and rewarding experience when approached in the correct way. I help all my students develop a good attitude toward playing music, as well as setting them up for success in developing a good sound and technique. I have helped students prepare for all situations, including auditions, adjudications, and yearly band concerts.

As a young professional trombone player, I've played with some of the biggest names in jazz including Wynton Marsalis, Christian McBride, and Sheila E. I have worked with students of many skill levels ranging from absolute beginners to some of the best high school musicians in the country. Although I specialize in jazz, I have just as much experience teaching classical trombonists. Our lessons will be fun, stress-free, and productive!

My passion is teaching the trombone. I have started beginners, taught middle, high school, and university students. As a member of a professional orchestra for many years, I have experience performing many different styles of music and love to share my enthusiasm for the trombone with others. Lessons are rooted in a firm foundation of technique, focusing on efficient sound production and ease of playing. I love helping students reach their potential!

I have been teaching professionally at a private music school. I have a specific teaching curriculum with an emphasis on proper breathing and sound! I believe singing through your instrument should be a satisfying experience and one that will be a positive change in your life. I teach all genres of music and specialize in orchestral music. I want my students to reach their musical potential and aspirations while having a wonderful time!

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 am an avid brass performer and teacher in the greater Baltimore area, having played for over a decade. In lessons, we will work out of some of the most trusted method books, discuss fundamental playing techniques in an accessible and easy-to-understand way, and search for unique solutions to individual problems as I tailor my teaching method to your learning style. All ages are welcome.
