Janesville, WI Tuba Lessons

My mission, is to create a private and educational environment to students of all ages. One that enriches their senses to music, through reading, writing, ear training, performance and technique.

I equally cover fundamentals, technique, tone production, solo rep., orchestral music, jazz and anything else the student might be interested in.

I have taught all levels of tuba.

Every level welcome. Tuba is not recommended as a first instrument. A minimum of one year of study on euphonium is recommended. I have found the most success with using "Accent on Achievement" for beginners. As students progress, more materials will be needed. "Arban's: Complete Method" is standard for advancing students in my curriculum.

I have been teaching brass for 22 years. I have an earned Masters degree in music and enjoy teaching students of all ages. I am happily married with 5 children at home--4 of them are musicians as well (the youngest is 4).. Students will quickly learn not only the basics of music theory, but will be playing songs as early as their first lesson. It is extremely rewarding watching students have fun, excel, and fall in love with making music. I presently teach music at 3 schools (1 college) and only have a few lessons slots available. I look forward to working with you.

i have over Thirty Years experience of playing and teaching brass instruments. I have played in orchestras, wind bands and jazz bands.I believe that teaching any instrument demands hard work by the pupil ,but that hard work will eventually enable them to make excellent and lasting progress. I also believe that the lessons should be interesting ,creative and fun !

I am a professional orchestral trombonist and I have been an active brass teacher for almost twenty years. I have played in orchestras across the USA and Europe, including the Cincinnati Symphony, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and many more.

I aim to give my students a solid understanding of the technical skills required to play a brass instrument, and to share with them the musical knowledge I have gained from studying with some of the best brass teachers in the world.

Take lessons with a experienced teacher that actively performs and teaches. What makes me a good teacher is the fact that I struggled during the first few years that I started playing. I had a work through those struggles in order to become the musician I am today, so I know how to break things down and to cater lessons to each individual student. There is no cookie cutter method for all, we each have our own issues to work on. Some naturally gifted teachers will just tell you to play something and make it work...but since I had to work hard to become successful, I can use what I learned to help you to achieve success. I will help you to build a strong fundamental base and to turn your weaknesses into strengths! Whether you are preparing for school band or ensemble, for honor band auditions, college auditions, or solo and ensemble festivals, I would be happy to help you to become the musician that you want to become.

As a tubist for nearly 20 years, and a instructor for 10 years I have a broad range of experiense and knowledge as a teacher and performer. I have experience in classical band and orchestra performance, as well as jazz.

Are you a serious musician who happens to play the tuba? A beginner who wants to figure out this metal beast? I'm a professional tubist with 18 years experience performing orchestral, band, wind ensemble, brass quintet, and solo literature. I will help you find your path, wherever you are on your musical journey.
