As a professional brass musician, I have been teaching brass instruments for over ten 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 65 years old. One of the great joys I have in teaching is that each student brings their own unique strengths to a lessons. My goal is ...

the star of the big band the trombone if you need assistance learning how to tame this wonderful instrument don't hesitate to ask.

I am a professional trombonist for the 300th Army Band stationed out of Bell, CA. Graduated from the Army School of Music in June 2011. I attended Citrus College from 2009-2013. While at Citrus College I performed with their jazz bands, pop rock bands, and latin bands. I am currently attending Azusa Pacific University pursuing my bachelor degree in trombone performance.

Looking for extra help on your auditions coming up? I am your guy! I can help you build range and tone through my private lessons that will help you get rid of strain and work on playing extended range with ease. I can help with slide technique and legato style as well.

The trombone is a powerful and expressive instrument. My students will learn how to unlock their full potential in any style - jazz, classical, funk, rock, R&B, you name it - at any skill level and any age.

Lessons are tailored to the student's interests and musical tastes. I cover topics such as sound production, facility and range, music theory and ear training, improvisation in the jazz idiom, and composition/arranging.

Let's make music together!

I started playing the trombone in the 4th grade and have been playing ever since. I attended St. Augustine High School where I participated in the world renowned "Marching 100" band. As a leader and Drum Major I gained experience very early on working with beginners and honing their skills. I want to make sure students get a solid foundation and master all of the basics in order to excel in their music play.

I've been teaching private lessons for 10 years. My students regularly place highly in area competitions and honor bands. Every lesson is catered to the student's goals, whether that be to play scales or learning tenor clef. My pedagogical knowledge will help each student reach his or her goals.

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!
