Experience Summary
I am an active trombonist in NYC. I play monthly with Jack Jeffers and the New York Classics at the Zinc Bar, I have performed with The Roots, Oliver Lake, David Murray, Chia's Dance Party, The Astoria Symphony, and more. Trombone is my major instrument and I can teach from beginners up to the professional level. Drums are my secondary instrument, and I can teach beginners up to the intermediate level.
Teaching Style
I like guiding students to the areas that they wish to focus on, while simultaneously strengthening their weaknesses. I use demonstration, visualisation, rote, or whatever I can use to help students grow.
I can teach individual lessons on trombone or drums. I can also coach small ensembles like rhythm sections (piano, bass, guitar, drums).

| I can help you learn to play jazz, funk, latin jazz, and rock. I am very interested in the ability to "lock" with other instruments within the rhythm section (especially the bassist). I like to teach drummers while I play bass so that they can learn how to feel basic grooves. I can coach rhythm sections (group lessons) |
