My experience in teaching private lessons goes back to high school when my band director prompted the All-District and All-State band members to give lessons to our sections after school, which allowed me to immediately transition into giving private lessons as a college student. I have given music lessons at Mason's School of Music in Tallahassee, provided lessons as a self-employed contractor, as well as having served as a trumpet /trombone instructor with the Goodwill Band in Tallahassee.

Instruments: Trombone

Collaborative--I like to inspire students with the potential sound of this beautiful instrument--the trombone is unlike any other instrument, and the success or failure depends on the internal drive students are willing to apply.

I am uniquely able to expose them to not just recordings, but live, working examples of great trombone players. Read More

With intermediate level students I continue with more challenging method books as well as standard musical excerpts and etudes. Read More
