Scotch Plains, NJ Trombone Lessons

My students can I expect a highly customized, personalized, challenging curriculum that will allow them to easily achieve their goals. My training from both Eastman School and Music and The Juilliard School will enable me to show students exactly what they need to know.

The trombone is a colorful and exciting instrument played in many styles of music throughout the world, from jazz and classical to funk and soul to reggae, afro-beat, and Latin American music. In addition to covering the basic technical requirements of the instrument, I'm particularly interested in the many genres in which the trombone can be found, and I like to focus on the styles of music that most interest and challenge my students. I began playing soprano trombone over ten years ago, and I have taught tenor trombone privately and in public school programs for several years. I encourage the use of long tones, air support, and brass calisthenics to improve tone, increase range and endurance, and work towards greater flexibility.

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 just starting the trombone, I can show you how to take your playing to the next level. I will teach you not only the basics, but also how to improve by teaching yourself and how to practice efficiently. I can help work on tone, an efficient embouchure, technique, and playing jazz. Also, I can offer advice to high school students or younger if they may be interested in pursuing a career in music since I just graduated high school and will be attending the Juilliard School in the fall.

Let's make music together!

I'm a recent Oberlin College graduate looking to help new students find joy in playing brass instruments.

I have been playing and teaching tuba (and low brass in general) for 25 years, through all genres and levels, and have a degree in Tuba Performance from the University of Florida. My lessons blend technique, theory, musicality, and performance, but at the heart of it all is a love for music in the student that drives everything.
