Trombone with Will H.

Hello! I am a young active trombone player on the New York music scene with a passion for teaching as well, and a recent grad from the Jazz Studies program at the world famous Juilliard School in Manhattan. In addition to being a consistent player in New York City, I also am a composer, arranger, and Music director for the former American Idol contestant, Hollywood Anderson. My students can expect a very knowledgable and straightforward teacher, but not a harsh one. I believe that everybody finds their inspiration at their own time and my job as a teacher is to do my best to correct technical issues as they arise, but to also provide materials that will inspire and want to push you forward. Because I have studied and performed at a high level, I am prepared to take on whatever problems Advanced and intermediate students have to offer. If we reach a point where I think you've outgrown my knowledge, I will pass you on to someone who can help you succeed even more than I can. My background as a Youth Minister in the Methodist Church granted me patience that also opens up the possibility to teaching beginning students. Truth be told, I had to re-learn many things when I arrived to New York in order to correct bad habits that I learned in high school. So I have gone through the process of building from the ground up and have a defined system to provide a foundation to build upon for a great musical future. Having worked with many fantastic musicians such as Wynton Marsalis, Elliot Mason, and Ron Carter, I have been immersed in a depth of American music that most people have not. I look forward to providing you with guidance and inspiration! Will Available to teach: Trombone fundamentals, Trombone improvisation, Jazz theory and improvisation, Classical Theory Composition and Arranging, Piano, and Ear Training.
