Trombone, Bass Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba Lessons. Music Theory.

From 50.14 $ /h

I am a professional bass trombonist, I have been teaching for over 5 years from beginners to college level. I am from the United States where I have taught private and large group lessons. I have a Bachelors in Music Performance from the University of Texas at Austin and a Masters from the Amsterdam Conservatorium. Through my experience I have found it crucial to start lessons with setting goals for each student; from simple short term goals to more advance long term goals. Just like any art that you wish to learn, practicing is a vital part to succeed, therefore starting with fundamentals and slowly advancing our techniques into repertoire is a very personal experience and we all learn at different rates. With one on one lessons each student has the convenience of setting personal goals, taking different routes to succeed, and overall enjoying the interaction between teacher and student.

I always like to begin lessons, normally lasting around 30 minutes. This will allow me to learn more about the student and their aspirations. Likewise the student will learn about my teaching methods and the structure of the lessons.

I'd be more than glad to share more information about my experience and educational background. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

My goal is to develop the best motivation scenario for each student and each situation to be able to achieve short and long term goals in the most effective, deep and captivating way possible. So, here is my way of working in a few lines:

Learn the language of music through improvisation, writing, movement, body and instrument in a progressive way.

Discover and contextualize the elements that create and connect sounds and rhythms.

Develop these skills from play and vocal and instrumental practice.

Practice the instrument from the first lessons.

To have the keys to approach the musical language and the reading of the partitions.

Approach the technical aspects of the instrument in a fun and creative way.

Discover the magic of this musical world from the needs and expectations of students in an environment conducive to learning, listening and communication, essential elements for making music and for life.

"Music education is actually the education of the person" according to Claudio Abbado.

Teacher available, flexible and easy to communicate with. Home tutoring.

Languages: Italian (native)

I offer professional Brass instruments (Bariton, Tenorhorn, Euphonium, Trombone, Trumpet, Tuba) lessons for children from the age of four, for teenagers and adults. Whether beginner or advanced, that doesn't matter to me. Every motivated student of trumpets is welcome with me. I see it as my job to promote the particular character of each student. Playing the trumpet is an art that is difficult to explain. To become a good Brass player, you need more than “just” to master your instrument. Practice is a basic requirement. Young Brass students, children in particular need the support and support of their parents in the learning process, but the joy in the practice lessons should not be left behind. The focus of my lessons is on conveying musical understanding, sound technology and music literature from classical to klezmer to jazz. Elements such as transpose, orchestral replacement and sight reading are also taken into account in the lessons. I accompany the students as they prepare for competitions and auditions. I am happy to support you in improving your stage presence. I offer one-on-one and two-on-one classes. I teach the pocket trumpet for children. Furthermore, cornet, B and C trumpet (American and German) as well the Bariton, Tenorhorn, Euphonium, Tuba and Trombone.

Playing the trombone is so exciting. Many genres to explore!
Are you looking to start learning the trombone? Perhaps you already play for some years but want to improve your technique, breathing skills, or learn a new genre? I am Alberto, and I will help you achieve your musical goals with a tailor-made program. My approach is to find suitable music for your technical and expressive level and work specifically on the challenges that it represents.

Music is for everyone! Kids and adults
Perhaps you want to surprise your couple playing a bossa-nova. Or maybe you want to become the next solo trombone at the Concertgebouw Orchestra. Everyone has different goals when playing the trombone, it is my job to help you achieve them. If you don't have clear objectives yet, I will be guiding you and exploring the possibilities of trombone playing with you. Also, especially for kids, I can help you find a nice pBone. They are lightweight plastic trombones made with great quality and available in different colours!

Good technique, and a lot of fun
The most important lesson I have learned in my career is that making good music is only possible when you enjoy the process. Of course, good technical skills are crucial but studying exercises that you find boring is not the best way up to proficiency. Instead, finding your unique best approach to improve your skills will get you to the moon! For improving your tempo awareness, would you practice with a metronome or would you rather use a drumbeat sample?

Your health is important! Body awareness and breathing techniques
Not only wind players benefit from doing sport, acquiring good posture habits, and being aware of their breath. It helps everyone in every single aspect of their lives. A good breathing technique will let you play easily, run for a longer period of time, or sleep better at night. On the other hand, body posture awareness helps with productivity and saves money on the fysio. Life hacks that you cannot miss!

Improvisation and open-mindedness
That very feeling of creating art on the spot. Only a few experiences can relate to it. When we explore and create, our flow state gets triggered. We are fully immersed in the activity and the world surrounding us vanishes. If you like, we will go on a journey discovering new emotions, colours, sounds, harmonies, textures, styles, genres. And improvising on them. Let's get creative!

Technology in music. Recording and producing
Let's face it, we are in the 21st century and the possibilities of technology are endless in the audiovisual field. Recording for auditions, producing and releasing your first single, live looping, use of effects... You can learn all that with me. Are you curious? Book your lesson now!
Ok but, how will my lessons look like?
Breathing practice is one of the best ways to start warming up. It will take the first 5 minutes of your lesson and your body will be prepared to start playing.
Then, we would go into working on your specific goals. Perhaps, we are practicing music that demands improvement on the higher register, maybe we are working out different scales for improvisation, or it might be the case that you want to discover a new genre and go deep into it. Reading music, ear training, phrasing, music theory, buzzing and embouchure position, articulations (legato, staccato, accents), dynamics... These are only an indication of what we might work on.
The final minutes of your lesson will be the moment to relax. We can get creative, play some tunes together, improvise, or even talk about a specific topic like musicality, art, creativity, technique, theory, or the music industry for instance.

Group lessons and ensembles
Making music alone is fun, but playing with people brings it to the next level! If you like the idea, I will bring you together with other fellow students for technique workshops, jam sessions, duo with piano, or whatever other activity we might find interesting for you.

When and where
I offer flexibility in my schedule so your trombone lessons fit into your agenda. I can come to your place, or perhaps you prefer visiting my teaching room in Utrecht. I will have some coffee or tea waiting for you.

Online trombone classes
Online has become a new trend. I will help you set up your equipment and focus on what is important, music. Book a lesson now!

Alberto, the eclectic brass player based in Utrecht
I am a brass performer and teacher that has performed in classical and modern music ensembles for more than 15 years. During this time, I attended innumerable masterclasses and had great fun in various professional experiences such as performing at Tomorrowland, an avant-garde music festival in Malta, or the great symphonic masterpieces with symphonic orchestras in Spain and the Netherlands.
I hold a bachelor's and a master's degree in music performance and a master's degree in music education during my official studies in Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Nowadays, you can still find me teaching brass in the Utrecht area, composing and producing my own music at home, playing tuba with a symphonic orchestra, trombone in a reggae band, or improvising trumpet over a techno track.

I have experience working in music schools for 10 years and this last year in a Professional Music Conservatory.

This position represents a great opportunity for me to continue pursuing my passion for teaching and music. I am a resourceful person with experience in online classes and knowledge of new technologies. Furthermore, I am motivated to put into practice my latest publication, "Diary of Good Musical Practice," a book with its own methodology, designed to facilitate communication between student, tutor, and teacher through this class journal and to efficiently and individually monitor student progress.

I'm available to teach any person who plays or wants to play the trombone, that includes some help on theory and music perception.

My goal is to help the student understanding on how music works and flows, and how to have an efficient trombone playing. If this goal is reached, there's no one happier than me :)

I can help also in choosing equipment (trombone, mouthpiece), as also giving tips for any matter related to this wonderful profession!

I'm right now a freelancer in Luzern, where I did my Master's in Performance.

Learning to sing doesn't always have to be a frustrated dream, we can all do it well, either as a hobby or because we want to be professionals. My name is Catalina and I am a singer, I teach other people because connecting through music is my passion.

I always work the classes under two principles:

1. Keep the class light and fun.
2. That everything in class is understandable and clear (if I have to repeat 80 times, no problem).

Methodology of the classes:

Classes can be taught at my home, the student's home, or virtually.
In the first class, a repertoire of approximately 2 or 3 songs is defined, which correspond to the student's taste as well as the vocal challenges they face, and an evaluation of strengths and challenges in learning is made.

In general all classes are divided into 3 parts:

1. Body warm-up (stretching, breathing exercises and activation of important muscles for singing).
2. Vocal warm-up through exercises to strengthen agility, tuning, phrasing and support.
3. Repertoire work where each of the details of the song being sung is reviewed, paying special attention to the most difficult parts of the song.

I have been fortunate to be able to teach children, adolescents, adults and seniors.

Hello !

As a Bachelor II student at the Lausanne University of Music (HEMU), I offer trombone lessons for all ages and levels. Whether you're new to this magnificent instrument or looking to perfect your trombone skills, my goal is to guide you through motivating and, above all, musical progress.

By covering the essential basics of instrumental playing (posture, breathing, articulation, etc.), we will explore a repertoire that speaks to you: classical, jazz, brass bands, pop, etc.

Beyond the music itself, these classes are also an opportunity to develop other valuable qualities such as listening, concentration, patience and knowing how to be relaxed.

If necessary, I can integrate notions of music theory, analysis or vocal work, to enrich your understanding of musical language.

Classes can take place at your home or mine. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule an initial meeting.
