Trombone Lessons
About
I have been playing trombone for 17 years now. I am a graduate from the Juilliard School, and am a member of the Finnish Radio Orchestra in Helsinki one of the leading ensembles in Scandinavia. I have performed with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, New York City Ballet among others. I am willing to give my absolute best to any student who desires to learn and grow as a trombonist.
I enjoy teaching students to enjoy learning and growing in music so that they can use those tools in life. I enjoy making music fun for students so that it may always be something they enjoy.
