    My sons (one a beginner on trombone, one who already played tuba proficiently) began lessons with Mr. Smith during the shutdown last spring when we weren’t able to take in-person local lessons. They have really enjoyed learning from someone whose specialty is brass and have been motivated to practice on their own. Highly recommend!

    I am an older student (70) who has worked with Jeremy for several years after switching from tenor to bass trombone. Not having had any lessons since was in high school I was in need of remedial work as well as learning a new instrument with another set of tubing and an extra key. Jeremy explains things well and has helped me immensely with breath control and extending my range downward. He also works with essential techniques such as lip slurs that had never been well explained to me when I was in high school. One thing he has been extremely helpful with is ensuring that I listen to what I am doing and making making me aware when I am not playing in tune. I have an analytical side to me and he has done an exceptional job of explaining the whys and hows of making music and what the instrument requires. He has been very patient with me and I am very happy with his teaching style and hope to continue my studies for some time.

    Frequently asked questions

    Each student has different strengths in their playing. I want to make sure to capitalize on those by allowing those strengths to help with a student's weakness. I do not have a set system for teaching. Each student has a different way of learning, and I try to cater to that.

    I began teaching in a community music school during my freshman year in college. Since my father has been a music educator for 40+ years much of what I learned about education has come through watching his experience.

    I have taught students ranging from 5th grade to 65 years old. Even though I have taught on the collegiate level at two universities, I have also introduced students to their first instrument.

    Be sure to know what method books they use for private lessons. Having organized resources is crucial to help potential students.
