Trombone Lessons in South Butler, NY

Instruments: Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet French Horn Piccolo Mallet Percussion Oboe

I have taught private flute studnets since my Graduate School days, in 1994. My studets have reached NYSSMA level 6 and have played at college and scholarship auditions, NYSSMA solo festivals, in-house festivals as well as many other occasions. I know kids are busy and I am creative with using technology and simple "practice smarter not harder" strategies to help a student achieve his or her goals while still maintaining a busy schedule.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar

I try to motivate students to practice at their own pace. Within a few lessons the student is working on playing some familiar songs. Letting them know that we can start to work on material they prefer is how I get them to work on necessary technique. Many of my students have been accepted into music schools and/or are performing regularly. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trombone Music Keyboard

I began teaching music in 2013. At the time, I was working with a local music school, teaching Music Theory and Music History to kids aged 5-18. Three years later, in 2016, I opened my own private piano studio. The studio, in my hometown of Milan, remained open until 2019 when moved to Philadelphia, PA. Since then, I have been teaching and tutoring music students at every level; from grade school to college. Read More

My method in teaching depends on the instrument and the age. For beginners on band instruments and piano, I would start them with a method book of their choosing (though I would steer them in a good direction). For guitar and drumset, the use of method books is fine...but this would not be my first approach. It is important for students to be familiar and fluent in music notation. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Bass Guitar Euphonium Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience began with teaching trumpet and guitar lessons early on during my undergraduate degree, roughly 6 years ago. Since then I have encouraged the students I have had while my focus has been on performing. After finishing my studies, I have worked as a Chorus teacher working with both the band director and all of the students in the music program for their various needs. This included specific instruction to the students who were more invested in their musical skill development, instrument repair of the brass instruments, direction of the three choirs with daily rehearsals and assisting with beginner band lessons.
