    About Peter T.

    I am a professional trombonist that is passionate about music and education. I am finishing my DMA in Jazz Performance at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and love to teach, perform, and spend time with my wife and child. I was born in San Antonio, TX and moved to Washington state from early middle school through my the end of my bachelor's degree, receiving much training and experience as a classical and jazz trombonist. After that, I was invited to pursue my master's in Jazz Studies in Michigan, which led to my current residence in Illinois, where I'm finishing a doctorate in Jazz Performance. It's been quite a journey so far and I'm happy to share my wisdom, knowledge, and experience with others, especially with students!
