Trombone Lessons in Fairview, TN

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium

I started teaching lessons when I was in my undergrad and really enjoy working one on one with my students and watching their incredible growth and how they fall in love with their sound and music along the way.

Instruments: Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium Tuba

I currently play trombone in ensembles such as the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra, Bone Therapy, Music City Bones, Music City Brass Ensemble, Franklin Brass Quintet, and in other freelance performances throughout the Nashville area.
