I'm currently available to teach lessons in both music composition and trombone to any and all students, regardless of age or skill level. I can teach in-person or remote lessons, though I recommend and prefer in-person lessons when possible, especially for trombone!Â
I charge $30 for a half-hour, or $50 for an hour. Typically all lessons are on a weekly basis, though I'm happy to make exceptions when needed.
In teaching composition, I focus on understanding music -- what it's doing, and why. I work with both the intellectual and intuitive sides of music. And above all else, my highest goal is to help students love music, and to love writing music.
With trombone, I aim to get students past thinking about the superficial elements of music -- pitch, rhythm, technique -- so that they can focus on what matters most: musical expression.
If you're interested in setting lessons up, or if you'd like to ask any questions about lessons, please don't hesitate to reach out!
