Private Trombone Teacher
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.

Trombone is, and should be, FUN. It's my main instrument, and I have 20 years of experience: both my Bachelor's and my Postgraduate Diploma are in Trombone Performance. If you want someone who knows the instrument inside and out, who can help you with intricate technical issues, and who is well acquainted with trombone repertoire and how our instrument is used in different styles and ensembles, I've got the knowledge and the skills -- and I'll do it all in a way that helps you LOVE playing.

Private Trombone Teacher
I have studied with some of the finest trombonists in the world, performed in the nation's top orchestras, and am firmly committed to excellence in the trombone field. Music is one of the most indescribably powerful and moving things in the entire world, and I want students to, above all, simply enjoy playing and experiencing this gift. The trombone is, of course, merely a means to an end in this regard; yet its rich, powerful, as well as versatile sound is what particularly draws me to it. My approach to playing the trombone is simple: producing the greatest sound on every note, as easily as possible. I think it is necessary to have the best sound that you can possibly make on the trombone in your head from day one, and to this end, I strive to play as much as possible for and along with the student so that they may develop their own ideal sound concept. I couple this with instruction on all the other fundamentals of trombone playing and music making, such as technique, scales, ...

Interested in taking trombone classes? Great choice. One of the most powerful instruments, the trombone's register sits closely within the range of the human voice. It can produce deep tones, beautiful harmonies, or cheerfully hold the beat of a marching band. The instrument has several variations, with the most popular being the tenor trombone.
The trombone's versatility lends it a coveted spot in almost any music group. Trombones can be found in symphonies and concert bands, marching and pep bands, and brass ensembles. Trombone players also have a solid place in jazz and swing bands, zydeco, Cajun, rock, and pop groups.
Why Learn Trombone?
Apart from the trombone's versatility, there are several other advantages to playing. Because the instrument requires controlled breathing to produce the right tones, individuals who learn to play trombone will benefit greatly from increased lung capacity.
This is especially helpful for anyone with a lung problem, like asthma or COPD. But anyone who's active will benefit, too. Whether you enjoy swimming, running, or riding a bike, you'll find that playing the trombone increases athletic stamina, as well.
Playing trombone also strengthens the core muscle groups responsible for good posture. Supporting the trombone's long shape, while pushing and pulling its slide, requires considerable abdominal strength.
Keeping airflow steady all the while, the musician must be able to stand up straight throughout this motion. With perfected posture, trombone players enjoy all sorts of physical benefits such as improved circulation, better digestion, fewer headaches, and less back pain. Keep reading to find out how you can start learning with a trombone teacher near you.
