Technical Proficiency: - Develop proper embouchure and breath control. - Learn to produce a clear and consistent tone. - Master basic playing techniques such as tonguing, slurring, and articulation. - Build finger dexterity and slide/tuning slide control (for instruments like the trombone). 2.

Sight-Reading Skills: - Improve your ability to read sheet music on sight. - Practice sight-reading exercises regularly to enhance your musical literacy. 5. Goal Setting and Practice Routine: - Set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for your brass playing. - Establish a regular practice routine that focuses on achieving these goals.
I have taught beginning, intermediate, and advanced band for 9 years in Arkansas, New Jersey, and Connecticut. While my primary instrument is Tuba, I have experience teaching all brass instruments to any age level. I understand what is takes to get a beginner started on an instrument while also understanding how to get an advanced musician to that next level!
Homework Offered
