Trombone Lessons Carroll County, MD

Instruments: Trombone

Whether beginners, high school students, or adults who keep up their trombone playing, I work with the method books that school students already have and will always augment their books with my own warmup and practice handouts as well as having each student keep a Music Dictation book with them so that I can make special notes and comments for each individual student....because we all have different needs at our various levels of musical growth.

I'm an enthusiastic, passionate teacher who appreciates the uniqueness and originality of any interested student. Having taught private lessons and clinics for eleven years, I am open to teaching a multitude of genres, and make it a priority to cater lessons to the interests of each individual student. Having worked with students ages ranging from seven years old to adult, I have developed a flexibility in my teaching style that is tailored to the goals and abilities of each student. Read More

I believe in being being honest and encouraging, allowing students the chance to struggle and fail in a safe environment, while stressing and correcting proper techniques. I encourage practicing a little almost every day of the week, and finding what fires you up about the instrument. I also make sure to take an interest in student's lives beyond music- people are busy, and I understand those pressures! Besides that, music can relate to many areas and disciplines in life, and one's own previous experiences offer many methods for greater understanding. Read More

My Teaching experience began in my Undergraduate studies, where at my High School Placement, I had teach privately to many middle and High School Students. My real private studio began to grow in my Second Year of Master's program. During that time I had a small studio of non-majors in college, where I taught tenor and bass trombonists. Now, I maintain a small private studio in my home, at students homes and through organizations! Read More

The recording of each lesson gives students something to look forward to at the end of our session. Whether they think that they've done really poorly or extremely well, I encourage them to listen to themselves critically and prepare to share genuine feedback. Then we discuss both their strengths and the areas of opportunity for growth. This practice helps students progress over time. Eventually, they become more expressive, creative, confident, engaged and excited about learning and sharing their talents with others. Read More
