I am a professional orchestral trombonist and I have been an active brass teacher for almost twenty years. I have played in orchestras across the USA and Europe, including the Cincinnati Symphony, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and many more.

I aim to give my students a solid understanding of the technical skills required to play a brass instrument, and to share with them the musical knowledge I have gained from studying with some of the best brass teachers in the world.

Jeremy began playing at the age of six. Over the years, he developed his skills further by practicing and private lessons.

I have eight years of experience with the tuba. During my high school career, I was consistently selected to participate in the top honors ensembles. As a student at UNC-Greensboro, I study tuba performance and play in the School of Music's top ensembles (the Symphony Orchestra and the Wind Ensemble). During lessons with me, students will learn how to refine technical skills and how to interpret music by being encouraged to think about what lies beyond what is printed on the page.
