Learn music through performance on the trombone. Classes are tailored to learner interests and focus will be driven on a variety of genres appropriate to the study of trombone and matching learner interests.
Private lessons are the ultimate, personalized class where we can focus on specific learner development, questions, and interests. Time will be dedicated to partnering with the learner as they develop their interests, style, and exploration of the trombone.
Sample topics in a private lesson format include:
- instrument performance basics: posture, holding the instrument, producing a sound, finding the notes on the slide
- breathing for the trombone
- buzzing for the trombone
- articulation, tonguing, attacks
- combining skills: playing legato and playing staccato
- technical right-hand slide technique
- use of a trigger horn
- reading music like a trombone player: treble and bass clef, lead sheets
- performing a variety of music examples that deliberately develop master skills for application to learner-preferred music
- active listening and ear training
- specific goal development (audition and competition preparation)
