This weekly one-on-one lesson will be tailored to the current level and musical goals of each student. Information about the student's previous experience will be requested prior to the first class, and a more complete plan will be available after meeting the student and assessing their interests and skills.

Common learning goals include:
-Understanding instrument assembly and care
-Creating good tone through proper posture, breathing, and embouchure formation
-Basics of reading music from the staff or improving music reading skills
-Learning songs for performance in band groups, auditions, personal performance opportunities, or just for fun!
-Expanding general musical knowledge through the lens of trombone
-Fostering a deep love of music and performance while gaining confidence and perseverance from a growth-oriented task

For students new to trombone, the Traditions of Excellence Book 1 is recommended. Other method books could be substituted based on learner's preference.

Lessons for all learners will include the following elements:
1) Warmups - Breathing exercises, lip slurs, scales, and other technique-building activities
2) Repertoire - Evaluation and feedback on student's progress from previous week, demonstration of recommended strategies for continued growth, introduction of new concepts or songs
3) Something fun! - Engaging activities that strengthen musical skills, student-chosen songs, and more!

Learning Goals

Students will continuously improve their knowledge and skills in trombone performance and general music topics.

Students will foster a deep love of music and performance while gaining confidence and perseverance from a growth-oriented task.

I have a Master of Arts in Music Education, a current teaching certificate in my home state of Arizona, and 15 years of experience teaching public school, charter school, and privately. In that time I have worked with students from K-12th grade in a variety of musical fields including band, choir, drama, general music, and 1-on-1 lessons. One of my greatest accomplishments was to found and grow a new school band program to over 150 students in less than 5 years.
