I have studied with some of the best trombone teachers in America. I studied extensively with Jay Friedman and members of the Chicago Symphony during my five years at Roosevelt University. I specialize in helping students develop efficient embouchures, expand their range, and cultivate a sense of artistic personality. I have placed many students in All-State ensembles, and helped many students earn top seating placements in their ensembles, as well as at Solo and Ensemble competitions.
About Caleb
I have played with notable groups such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and am a former member of renowned Axiom Brass Quintet. I studied with Jay Friedman and other members of the Chicago Symphony at Roosevelt University for five years. My teaching philosophy falls into the Arnold Jacobs Song and Wind school of thought. I teach a lot of mouthpiece buzzing, and fundamental exercises to get my students playing with golden singing sounds!
Currently I am starting my second year in the DMA program at the University of Iowa where I am also a graduate teaching assistant in the trombone studio. In addition to the teaching I do at the University I am also a low brass teaching partner a
Currently I am affiliated with two professional orchestras in the Eastern Iowa area. I am the second trombonist in Orchestra Iowa based out of Cedar Rapids, and will be filling in as an interim second trombone for the 2017-2018 Quad City Symphony season. I have been playing in professional orchestras for the last ten years and can teach you orchestral style, and audition preparation.
In addition to my orchestra playing, I was also a member of Axiom Brass Quintet from 2012-2014 where we were the first prize winners at the International brass competition held in Passau Germany.
As a soloist, I was also the grand prize winner of the Chicago International Brass solo competition in 2012 on euphonium.
Currently, I am also an active member with the New Chicago Brass, a modern brass ensemble based out of Chicago. I am comfortable teaching all brass instruments for all ages and skill levels. I look forward to answering any questions you may have in regard to taking lessons on a brass instrument.

Basics are very important in my teaching practice such as breathing,scales,etudes and of course musical interpretations.I will teach my students details and guide them through the instrument and later in life they won't have technical problems which occur with most brass players.Getting good habits instead of bad ones is very important in my lessons.together with your practice and patience and of course my skills as a teacher we can accomplish a lot.Also we always will have such a words as :I can do it and everything is possible.Personal approach is very important too.Each student comes with their own needs ,we will work on individual level to fix those problems.Thank you.Hope to see you in my class.

I have been trombone and euphonium teaching privately at schools and homes for many years. I place a strong emphasis on mastering the fundamentals through etude studies as well as solo works. Whether this is your first time picking up the instrument, wanting to improve your skills, or wanting to pick an instrument back up that you haven't played in years, I am interested in providing you with the resources to succeed.
About Jon
Students can expect to improve their tone, fundamentals, and musicality every week with practice. While I am always happy to help a student work on their music for band, I believe that the best way to learn is to practice music that is more challenging and rewarding then the standard band repertoire. In lessons students can expect to perform assigned solos or etudes that they've been working on that week, and then use those pieces to build upon what they've worked on so that they can continue to grow as musicians.
