Percussion Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Washington, DC

I enjoy working in both one-to-one and classroom/band environments. I have a background in brass and percussion as well as music theory and I am a great believer in widening learners' horizons to what music will give my students both now and for their entire lives. I have tutored students from across the world in one-to-one and classroom situations. My recorded works include a bass trombone concerto (Simón Bolívar Orchestra). I am an adjudicator at band contests. In February 2008 I was invited to act as the musical director an impromptu massed band of 300 amateur brass band players in London's Trafalgar Square. All of this was organised within 5 days from the initial contact to the recording! I have founded a music-publishing house where I established a worldwide sales channel network for myself and other composers and arrangers in the brass and wind band genres. I am the visiting direc

I have been teaching in special education institutions for the past 13 years, working with children having physical, mental, emotional, and/or learning disabilities. My degree in music has provided me work in other areas of performing arts including dance, acting, and singing. I have also been assisting with reading and teaching math to elementary and middle school aged children. I love teaching and working with all children.

My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators ca

I have had a wide range of teaching and tutoring experiences: tutoring elementary school students in math and reading in Boulder, Colorado, teaching high school boy scouts wilderness survival skills in New Mexico, teaching 7th grade science in Denver, Colorado, substitute teaching, and teaching 8th grade general science and 9th grade Introduction to Chemistry and Physics in Frederick County, MD. I have learned how to work with different types of learners, ones who learn from verbal instruction, ones who learn from activities such as lab exercises, and ones who learn from reading activities. I love the diversity of learners in the field of education, and it is a great experience every time I meet a new learner and get to figure out the best way to help them learn the material I am presenting to them. I want every student I meet to be successful, and I strive to do all I can to ensure that
