American Fork, UT Trombone Lessons

I enjoy teaching beginning technique including making a sound, learning slide positions, reading bass clef notation, and learning to play in tune with a tuner.

I am all about teaching the whole musician, meaning that you will not be learning just trombone but all the skills necessary to be the best musician you can be! This includes ear training, music theory, sight-singing and more.

Need to work on music for NYSSMA? High school auditions? Want to learn how to play with your favorite songs? Looking to strengthen your chops? Looking to have fun practicing and growing with the trombone? Well...
ALL AGES WELCOME!
Students will be taught how to create a relationship with the the trombone and allow it to become a vehicle for there own creativity. Through teachings of tension free and relaxed technique I hope to bring the student to become magicians of the instrument so that the magic of making music becomes reality.

I hold a Masters Degree in Brass Performance, am a certified North Carolina Teacher, and have 20 years of playing experience and 10 years of teaching experience on brass instruments. I would love to be able to sit down and help you achieve your goals and find your own musical voice!

Hi! I have a Bachelors in Music Education and have experience teaching many beginning students! I have 3 children and decided to give up regular teaching to be with them. I marched Drum and Bugle Corp and was taught a lot about Brass instruments during that time. I played a straight Baritone and Mellophone in different years. I believe that tone production is the most important area of study. It doesn’t matter what you can play if it doesn’t sound good. I can’t wait to help more students love to “play” on their instruments!

I have trained at The Mannes College of Music and at The Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Belgium. I teach all levels of students who wish to learn classical, jazz improvisation, avant-garde, free-improvisation, and studio trombone playing. I also have a master's degree in psychology and a doctorate in philosophy. Since 1998 I have been teaching trombone, piano, composition, theory, solfeggio, ear-training, & conducting.

I've been a music professional for 35 years, and maintain an active playing schedule in Chicago and the midwest. I use simple-to-do tasks to teach the elementary and intermediate level playing techniques required for the trombone, and with practice my students advance as much as they desire to! My overall focus is on achieving a good sound and playing music, not just notes.
