About Me

Hi, my name is Danny and I am a trombonist and composer from West Texas. I have been a student of music for 35 years. My musical influences include movie composers such as Danny Elfman and John Williams, and Jazz composers and musicians such as Count Basie and Frank Rosolino to name a few. I also enjoy playing golf. My teaching style can best be described as psychological and empathetic. My teaching philosophy can best be described by saying that I teach students technique and then how to use that technique to manipulate the emotions of the listener. In my lessons, you can expect to learn proficiency and the effect of the human emotion through music. I like to tell my students practice doesn't make perfect....perfect practice makes perfect. My favorite thing about teaching is seeing my students succeed in auditions and having the parents thank me when my students are happy being in top bands. My favorite performance was Santa Clara Vanguard when they won DCI championship with Phantom of the Opera in 1989 or 1990. My students love that I am more patient than i should be and when i give them visualizations of the music they are playing. I primarily teach trombone, but I can also teach Baritone, and Trumpet. My approach as a teacher is to assess the student's skill level or potential and write lessons to nurture each student's individual proficiency. Thanks for taking a look at my profile. Hope to meet you soon!

What to expect in my Song Writing Lessons

They will learn "how" to practice when they are by themselves. They will learn techniques for producing a nice tone, articulation, phrasing and style. If they have lessons prepared in other words practice and are able to keep up with the progress I plan, they will also learn music theory in order to help with interpretation of the music they play. They will learn story-telling through music as a result of mastering the techniques I teach them. They will, most importantly, learn to sightread and use learned techniques and implement style any composition calls for.
