Trombone Lessons in Mount Wilson, CA

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone French Horn

I always vary my teaching methods to accomodate each of my student's needs.  However, my lesson format stays fundamentally the same.  I always begin with some mouthpiece buzzing, which incorporates ear-training, then move to rhythm exercises, scales and technical studies, method book, and any other music the student is working on at the time. Most beginning students will start out with Book 1 of a standard method book; I recommend the Standard of Excellence series. Read More

My approach to learning an instruments is to have the students learn to play by ear first before they can start learning to read music.

I approach teaching in layers. Step one leads to step two, we cant skip steps! I find it important that for beginners we follow this structure.

Playing music right off the top of your head, and in the moment is something you can't learn out of a book! Read More

My aim as an instructor is to help each student progress in their own goals an aspirations by adapting and providing the information necessary to be set on a path directed towards his or her individual journey within music.
