Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba

I have taught trombone lessons since 2000, when I lived in Gainesville, FL. Over the past several years I have moved to different states to pursue my education, but I have always made time to teach several students, from young junior high students to students working on a master's degree.

I will give my student a scale, and Etude and a piece from violin repertoire. My essential teaching style is based on the Galamians Principles of Violin Playing Teaching.
