Trombone Lessons San Francisco County, CA

Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium

I expect practice of the assignments that I give for my private trombone lessons and am a proponent of getting my students to work hard on any weaknesses in their playing. I do set realistic goals and make sure that my trombone students are comfortable with meeting those goals. I encourage trombone students to find new material that they want to do in the future and structure my lessons with the end goal of accomplishing what the student wants to achieve on the trombone.

I never want to burden the student with additional theoretic facts and/or practices that will not support their vision.
