Trombone Lessons in Village Of Nagog Woods, MA

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Trumpet Trombone

For children my teaching style is very reward based, I love stickers so always give them one once they've mastered their song for the week and such. Lots of encouragement and positive feedback and working through the difficult things in a positive manner. For adults I will teach based on you! If you are really looking for a fun hobby with the music we will be more laid back and relaxed with it and can bounce around and learn all sorts of different things! Read More

As an educator, I am flexible, patient, positive and fun-loving, and strive to engage each and every student. I want each student to move at a pace that is comfortable for them, and want to ensure that there are no learning gaps or plateaus in understanding of content before encouraging a student to move on. I love when a student leaves a lesson with a smile on their face and when they are truly having fun with music- I know I did my job well. Read More

For students beginning on any brass instrument, the Hal Leonard's Essential Elements is the go to for most music educators. I also try to find solo repertoire for students based on their age and level of experience. Performing as a soloist is just as important as being in an ensemble. The Rochut Legato Studies for trombone and Blahzevich Clef studies are also great tools for more advanced students. As for piano students, I try to determine what that student's musical interests are and tailor instruction to their particular level. Read More

I began teaching in 2014, shortly after graduating high school. I quickly began to enjoy encouraging and mentoring aspiring musicians to keep up with their practices as well as the love for music. I have a wide variety of teaching experiences such as teaching private lessons in home/studios, as well as instructing entire orchestras and wind ensembles. I've also found that a combination of classical and fundamental practices, as well as contemporary music, can go a long way in solidifying comfort ability on the instrument. Read More

The method of teaching is as follows: 1) assess where the student is in music and in life, 2) ask about goals in music, 3) formulate objective to reach those goals, 4) rethink things when needed (students aren't cookies, so I can't use a cookie cutter). I do focus on things in order though. If you don't know your fundamentals, then that's where we start no matter what. After learning fundamentals, however, we can begin to pick and choose the battles and wars. Read More

I have taught private lessons for years and all through my BFA as well as my Masters. I have experience leading my own groups and have co-lead on many occasions. I have in-depth training in performance and a vast body of original compositions. Read More
