Instruments: Piano, Trumpet, Trombone

And to many of these shows we travel together with our young daughter :) (yes, my husband is also in the band). Other than the Trombone I do play the Trumpet as well, and I have over 8 years of Piano under my belt. I feel very confident teaching Trumpet up to advanced level, but only beginner level for Piano. I would love to work with some of the younger students not only on learning to play the Piano but also about the joy that music can give you! Read More
