Trombone Lessons in Village Of Nagog Woods, MA

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music

My approach to doing lessons tends to be high enthusiasm and high standards. I am a firm believer in the idea of using focused practice and developing healthy self-criticism skills to build character. Creating lofty (but achievable) goals, setting standards, and persevering through challenges, is not only a great way to become a better musician, but is also a great way to become a better person. It is with this concept that I approach my lessons. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my elementary school days, as I began teaching private lessons part-time 23 years ago. I've been consistently teaching students during that time. Points I emphasize with students are: a) regular practice on a consistent schedule b) positive and optimistic thinking c) physical health and wellness d) to never ever give up e) music is suppose to be pleasurable not painful but may require long and hard work.

I create my own lesson plans specific to the students need and goals. There are core elements to my teaching that are constantly enforced, including my level of importance placed on rhythm and the aural tradition of music. Singing melodies, clapping rhythms and drum parts. Listening to music and talking and a gentle musical analysis of what we are hearing. I believe that everyone is first a person then a musician and then an instrumentalist. Read More

I provide each and every student with customized curriculum to fit their goals. Some students want to be prepared for auditions at school for jazz band or orchestra, others want to work towards Districts and All State Auditions. I work to build a solid technical foundation while also fostering creative growth. I like to tap into a student's particular interests and identify the lens through which they can appreciate and love music. Read More

I will share fun and efficient ways to practice so that you get immediate results. If desired, I also guarantee you will be playing a blues and improvising within a maximum of 6 weeks as long as you practice at least 10 minutes, three times a week.  You will have the option of playing along with recordings minus your part so that you can experience the joy of ensemble playing early on in the safety of your own home. I love creating small ensemble groups of students at similar levels and arranging concerts at regular intervals.
