Trombone Lessons in Breezy Point, NY

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium Music

For children (beginners), I start with the foundations of trombone playing. I typically start without the instrument at first and focus on breathing, posture, and building muscle memory with slide positions. With intermediate to advanced students, I like to focus on the theory/science behind trombone playing. With a major focus on fundamentals, I build upon the student’s foundations and help to finesse the way they hear their sound in accordance with other players. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium

For beginner students, I will usually start with the basic fundamentals of playing the instrument. This would include tone production, articulation, flexibility, scales, arpeggios, and sight reading. Once the student has become more fluent in the technique of their instrument I will start to ask them what they want to work on and improve upon. One method I truly believe in is playing duets with the student. The best way to improve at anything is to practice with someone who has more experience. Read More
