Welcome to my website, intended as a resource for all student trombonists. I have been Associate Principal Trombone of the Honolulu Symphony since 1996 and have more than 20 years of experience in the instruction of trombonists of all ages and levels. I am also on faculty at the University of Hawaii-Manoa and am trombonist with the Honolulu Brass Quintet. I received a master's degree from Northwestern University and studied primarily with Frank Crisafulli, Greg Irvine and Jay Friedman.

Please feel free to browse the website, or contact me directly about trombone lessons. I can also help you to put together music for your event, whether you are looking for a solo trombone, a brass quintet or a small orchestra.
