I began my teaching experience in 2006 as a Teaching Assistant in the USC Trojan Marching Band. It gave me the opportunity to craft a unique private lesson mentorship curriculum for all students who join the trombone section.

To apply concepts musically they need to do it with musical taste. Read More
