Class Experience

Intermediate - Advanced Level
This one-on-one class is open to students with varying musical background and skills.  Within a relaxed, safe, and encouraging learning environment,  these lessons will provide the tools, skills and knowledge necessary to play any of your favorite styles of music.

Parents of young students, please ensure that if your child is playing a brass instrument, that they have valve oil or slide grease handy and that they have blown warm air through their instrument to warm it up prior to the lesson as it may take valuable time away from actual learning and playing. 

Some Topics Covered: Basic instrument knowledge/care, reading/recognizing the tools and symbols used in music, proper posture, fingering, and embouchure technique, material I will present, as well as material and music you would like to focus on.  

Class Structure:  Access prior knowledge and review older material (if applicable), present newer material/exercises, practice new material.  I tend to follow the "I do, we do, you do" format.

Learners are encouraged to ask as many questions as they need to ensure clear and concise delivery of information. The more at ease a student is the more they tend to enjoy and retain!

Learning Goals

continued skill development
increase confidence in learning, playing and enjoying musical performance

Other Details

Supply List
Student must have their own instrument (ideally oiled prior to class). 
Student should have a bottle of valve oil handy.
I highly recommend the 'Essential Elements for Band - FrenchHorn Book 1 or 2' (depending on their experience). These method books are very well laid out and easy to understand.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
