Provo, UT Trombone Lessons

I am a classically trained trombone player with experience playing jazz and pop styles. I can work with you to take your musicality to the next level regardless of your current abilities.

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.

I have been teaching Trombone for over 10 years. Students will work on flexibility, range, tone and intonation. Oh, and having fun! :)

I'm a very flexible teacher. Whatever you feel that you need to work on, we will work on. Currently, I am taking lessons from Steve Turre at Juilliard. He has performed with many jazz greats including Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Shaw, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and J.J. Johnson. If you're interested, I wouldn't mind teaching you some of the things I am learning here at Juilliard.

(Travelling will incur an extra fee.)

I am a current band director focused on your student's success and mastery on the trombone. We will work on tone, range, and develop technique through a tailored lesson that will fit you or your student. I am also happy to supplement your child's band instruction and work on area/region honor band auditions with your child.

The Trombone is the single most powerful acoustic instrument in terms of size and efficiency. The thing's a cannon, and one just has to know how to use it right. My lessons will focus on enriching tone, increasing lung capacity, improving slide dexterity, strengthening embouchure, sharpening intonation (pun intended) and having fun with the mightiest of all wind instruments.

Personalized and methodical instruction for musical progress on their instrument.

Do you want to learn to get better at Tenor Trombone? Hello there, my name is Trenton Balliger! I am the principal Bass Trombonist for the prestigious Pacific Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble and for the HS Marching Band National Champions, both field and parade, Riverside MLK Jr. HS with 5+ years of experience in many different fields and working with and under many world-class musicians. This is my third year of giving lessons to multiple beginner and intermediate level students. I focus on customizing my lesson plans for each individual student to help them reach their highest potential, and I offer them access to vast up-to-date knowledge about how to participate in top-level groups for all types of music, not only in their school but outside of it as well for anyone of any age.

As a performer with the Southern Indiana Wind Ensemble, Indianapolis Wind Symphony, and the Indiana University Symphonic Band, I have extensive performance experience as an ensemble player and as a soloist. I am familiar with the common repertoire of trombone music/etudes, and can assist students with anything from supplemental lessons to their curricular music program all the way to college audition prep.
