In my lessons, I have been told that I am patient and efficient. While engaging students, I have method books in mind that will fit trombone students of all levels. I am committed to passing on what I know on my instrument and the music theory used in playing trombone. 
I give productive, honest feedback to my students because the only way for me to improve is to know where my shortcomings are and focus on my weak points. If a note or style is incorrect, I will let the student know. I would never belittle or ridicule anyone for any mistake.
When I first meet the student, I will be happy to assist in anything they're working on. If the student doesn't have any particular pieces, I will figure out what repertoire is appropriate. I will also get students ready for the college level of performance, especially those who plan on majoring in music performance, education, or any other field of music.

I am a college student pursuing my degree in Music - Instrumental Performance. I specialize in trombone, but am able to teach any low brass instruments. I have been playing trombone for 9 years studying under numerous private instructors. 

I have performed with many honor bands/orchestras, including the FSYO and OC Winds Symphony. I have received the Legacy Award since graduating Garden Grove High School, and earned Brass Honors every consecutive semester of college. I teach both Jazz/Commercial and Classical. 

My hobbies include playing music, physically engaging activities, reading books, drawing, cooking, and playing board games.

My first lesson with Brendan was at Fullerton College. He lent me his spare trombone as I don't have one of my own. We went over the basics of how to buzz into the mouthpiece and he was showing me the different positions on the slide. We had a great lesson, recommended for anyone who wants to learn trombone or get better at it.
