Trombone-basic advice needed

College Majors Music Major

<p>As for when, the junior year is probably the starting point for most, but it can vary based on your exposure to other teachers at different summer programs, festivals, pre college experiences. Summer lessons at a college can get tricky, as many faculty are actively engaged off campus as festival faculty, guest artists. </p>

<p>As for who, word of mouth is a good starting point. Identifying styles and technique of player/teachers you admire is another guide in steering towards an instructor. Recent orchestra audition winners coming from a particular school or instructor is another means of identifying who is getting results.</p>

<p>Try pm’ing RuinningtheBasses if they don’t respond directly to this thread. Son is currently a trombone Masters student at Mannes, and they might be able to offer specific suggestions.</p>
