How I Teach
Whether I’m teaching someone who is picking up the trombone for the first time or someone who is preparing a recital or audition, I value meeting my students at their individual level—tailoring my approach based on their needs and goals as students. Because every student learns differently, I tend to adapt my approach to each individual while still drawing from a strong foundation of pedagogical principles and keeping long-term growth in mind.
