Gwynedd, PA Trombone Lessons

I can help beginners get started or coach advanced students who are preparing for auditions.

Beginner trombone students. Depending on overall musical experience of the student, the initial focus will be on proper embouchure, beginner music theory, and note reading exercises. Lessons will work in conjunction with other aspects of the students music education, such as music class in school.

Experienced trombone teacher of 7 years available for eager students of all playing levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of technical and musical skills. I specialize in both classical and jazz styles, emphasize musicianship and ear training, implement a variety of books and exercises, and also have the following tools available to use during lessons: in-home studio, keyboard, and music stand.

The goal of my lessons is to create a well-rounded musician. In my opinion, one of the best ways for this to happen is to make sure the student has a solid foundation. This includes learning all scales, an understanding of trombone-specific techniques and knowing how to apply these skills in a musical setting.

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.

I went to college for Jazz Trombone Performance and currently I play professionally. I have had a lot of great opportunities playing, see my basic bio. I play most genres of music so I can help introduce new kinds of music to students or help enhance ones that you already know. I teach all ages on trombone, from basics, to college auditions, to professionally playing. I am here to help how I can!

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.

Hello!
I have a deep understanding in styles and how the trombone is incorporated in those styles. I have been a professonal trombonist for 15 years and have played in all genres and settings.

I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps where I served as a trombonist.

I can hopefully show you a few things to elevate your playing to new heights both technically and musically.

One of the duties I have as an elementary and middle school band director was starting new students on various woodwind, brass, and percussion 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.
