Aaron – Trombone-Tuba

Tenor trombone, Bass trombone, Euphonium, Tuba Lessons:

Level:  beginner, intermediate, advanced

I like to tailor my teaching towards the students’ interests and goals while also focusing on the fundamentals of playing their instrument. Whether they are learning just for fun, preparing for an audition, or getting ready for a performance, my goal is to develop their own critical thinking and musical ideas.

By constantly asking questions, I am encouraging them to identify what they excel at and what they can improve on. My general topics can include anything from basic fundamentals of brass playing to maintenance/care of your instrument to looking at repertoire for your instrument.
