Trombone Lessons in Janesville. Amazing Teachers.

I have taught all levels of trombone

the star of the big band the trombone if you need assistance learning how to tame this wonderful instrument don't hesitate to ask.

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!

Students can be expected to play not just repertoire provided from their school but also assignments given by me. I enjoy teaching to better my Students musicianship not just to get in to region band or get Superior ratings at solo and ensemble. Bettering ones musicianship will almost certainly lead to these things however.

I love working with students of all ages and all levels of experience! I've been teaching trombone for 7 years. I've earned my Bachelor's of Music degree from Oberlin Conservatory ('17), my Master's of Music degree from University of Southern California ('19), and I'm currently working on my Doctor of Musical Arts degree from University of Southern California. I have experience playing trombone in many different styles ranging from orchestral music to jazz to brass quintet to pop and funk.

What makes learning with me unique is that I try to make learning as fun as possible! I at first struggled to learn music and starting out wasn't easy for me. Eventually, through lots of practice, trombone became a fun thing for me and an outlet for stress. I'd love to help other budding trombone players find their passion for music. I know how hard it is to learn an instrument for the first time, but I also know how rewarding and fun it can be when things start to become easier! I am graduating from the Eastman School of Music which is a top music school in the country located in Rochester, New York. Through my training at Eastman, I have worked with exceptional conductors, professors and wonderful musicians. I know what it takes to get from the first days on the instrument, to having a blast playing with friends.
