Tuba Lessons in Selmer, TN. Amazing Teachers.

Experienced teacher of 5 years for all levels and ages! Lessons with me will not only focus on playing music, but will also focus on air and sound production as well as ear training and theory. We work together to make sure they are as well-rounded as possible. If you have an audition coming up, or if you want to get first chair in your school band program, or if you have decided to pick up an instrument later, I will help with whatever you want to accomplish!

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!

I am a brass specialist. My main instrument is trombone, but I have been effectively working with brass players of all types for years. I will be happy to help you achieve your goals and also offer small group ensembles with other instrumentalists in addition to private lessons!

MASTER LEVEL INSTRUCTOR-One on one private instruction taught by highly experienced and patient instructor. We will pick up students wherever they may be in their learning, and give help in a way that makes things easy and helps the student progress to wherever they want to be. We'll cover topics such as air support, embouchure, articulation, and specific technique for the particular instrument, all taught in a simple and easy to follow style depending on the students level and need. We'll also cover topics related to music reading. This will be appropriate for beginners who are struggling or advanced students who want to excel to the top!

I am a professional musician based out of the Washington D.C. area. I am currently a tuba player in The United States Army Band "Pershing's Own."

I believe that having fun, being able to clearly share your musical ideas with others, and being a well-rounded person are an integral to being a musician.

Every student has different goals and desires and I strive to create a specifically tailored course of study with each of my students.

Whether you are just starting out, or are an advanced player, I would be happy to work with you!
