Trombone Lessons in Lawrence Township. Amazing Teachers.

All levels

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.

If you are looking to take your tombone playing to the next level, you came to the right place. I am currently a trombone major at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and have studied with some of the best trombonists in New York. I have a lot of playing and teaching experience, having performed at venues such as Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and many other venues around the city. I can teach you any style you are interested in and will make sure you have fun doing it.

I enjoy keeping lessons fun and engaging, and putting a creative spin on each of the lessons I teach--anything that can encourage my students to put their own personality into our lessons as much as they express it on their instrument. I often incorporate games into lessons, and I tailor my approach according to how I get to know each student. I have over three years experience with teaching privately. I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds; this includes children ages 7 and up, adults, senior citizens, and children with special needs. I am originally from Skokie, IL, I received my bachelor's degree in trombone performance from Indiana University-Bloomington, and will begin my master's degree in trombone performance at Boston University. Outside of playing music I enjoy reading Cormac McCarthy novels, running, and watching "Stranger Things".

My teaching approach will help you make your trombone sing beautiful melodies as well as execute difficult passages. Having studied with amazing trombonists such as Maciej Pietralszko and Michael Dease I have absorbed their methods and added my unique experience as a multi-genre trombonist. My approach is both broad and specific, focusing on developing great musicianship skills that go far beyond the trombone as well as honing in on the specific things that separate the average trombonist to a great one. I also craft my lessons to each student's particular needs to help them realize their full potential. Send me a message to get started!
