Trombone Lessons Madison County, IL

Instruments: Trombone

For beginning students, I typically start with breathing exercises geared towards tone production as well as mouthpiece buzzing to start strengthening the student's embouchure. For more developed students, I try to guide them accordingly around their interests to keep the lessons fresh and more importantly, FUN. A typical lesson will consist of but not limited to, warm-up Call and Response exercises, where the student mirrors what I play. This is not only a time for them to develop aural skills, but to also hear and see professional playing up close and gives the student an example in developing their own musical concept. Read More

I am always conscious of myself to aim to be fun, understanding, and motivating.

The motivation to become better and to strive for excellence is what I look for in my students.
