Trombone Lessons Solano County, CA

I was born and raised in the Baltimore area and was lucky enough to be part of a family full of musicians. Piano lessons began in kindergarten and I started the trombone at age 11. Little did I know at the time that it would be a huge part of my life! I have been a professional musician for 8 years and have traveled all over the world doing in.
