Trombone Lessons in West McLean. Amazing Teachers.

Hi there! I am a professional trombonist and experienced teacher of 15 years, specializing in beginner, intermediate, and advanced trombone students! All ages welcome. I customize and cater each of my lessons to the needs/goals of each student. Not only will you be reading and playing beautifully in no time, but you will build skills in music theory, ear training, technique, and more! I take pride in my natural learning approach, where you will be coached to perform in the most efficient and effortless way possible. Let's get started!

Hello! I’m Michael, and I play trombone for the United States Army Band. My lessons focus on fundamentals of playing that last a lifetime!

I am an experienced teacher, having been a low brass teacher for over a decade. Over 90% of my students that study privately through their senior year of high school receive some form of college scholarship for musical ability, as well as excellent standardized test scores. Additionally, my students have received placement in state rankings for organizations such as NYSSMA, TMEA, ASBOA, as well as Interlochen and Tanglewood summer institutes.
My lessons are customized to each students needs and goals, with the primary goal being a cultivation of great fundamentals.
As a performer, my experience as a freelancer in NYC and performing with word class ensembles like the Metropolitan Opera, Broadway shows, and chamber ensembles makes me an excellent choice.

I can help beginners get started or coach advanced students who are preparing for auditions.

Whatever your level, we will dive into great studies of classic fundamentals, technique refinement, mature tone quality, and of course music that YOU love to play.
