Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(288)
Private trombone instruction for students of every level from a graduate of Juilliard and Northwestern University.
Class experience
I focus on teaching trombonists the fundamental elements of musicality they need to express themselves and convey the spirit of each piece, while working to improve their trombone technique as a means of playing more expressively. I will meet you where you are now, working with any music and materials you have and recommending new materials as appropriate. During the first lesson we will take some time to go over goals and get to know each other. Depending on the student's age and...
Students will learn about elements of musical style and how to execute them convincingly on the trombone.
I have a Master' s degree in music from Northwestern University and a Bachelor's in music from Juilliard, both specifically in trombone performance; while at Northwestern I also served as the graduate assistant teaching trombone lessons to non-majors. My primary instructors for those degrees were Michael Mulcahy (Chicago Symphony Orchestra) and Joseph Alessi (New York Philharmonic). I have also been a fellow of the Tanglewood Music Center and Verbier Festival Orchestra, where I received coaching from players in the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, respectively.
Homework Offered
Students will be expected to practice sufficiently to show noticeable growth in between every lesson. The ideal amount of practice will vary depending on the student's age, level of proficiency, and schedule, but should be at least 20-30 minutes, five days a week for newer players and generally more for players who are more developed. I can also provide a chart for keeping track of practice time if you would like!2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
