Trombone Lessons Virginia

I began teaching private lessons during my freshman year of college. It is so rewarding to work with a student on such a personal level and celebrate their growth. Instilling a sense of independent musicianship in my students is a fundamental goal of my teaching. I work with students on setting their own goals and developing their own practice strategies. When students have ownership over their learning, they can achieve amazing things! Read More

For children, my foundational methods include Leonard, Krueger, Clarke, Arban, Reinhardt, Rizzetto, Pearson, and Rubank. Solo and ensemble repertoire is introduced at the appropriate time. Time is also spent on improvisation, writing original compositions, and learning music that the students have brought to the lesson. For adults, we focus on what students are interested in working on, regardless of their ability level. Many adults want to spend part of the lesson working with the foundational methods, and spend part of the lesson learning one or two pieces of music. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than being a part of instilling the love of music in a student.

We move at the rate that the student needs without stress. I am well versed in many different learning styles and can adapt each lesson for the unique student I am working with. Read More

These books provide a very strong focus in fundamentals for those who are slightly more advanced. Read More
