The links at the left include many topics for teaching or playing trombone or jazz. I've included the handouts from my two clinics at the 2011 CMEA convention plus I have added a number of related resources that will expand on the topics introduced in the two clinics. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, need clarification, or want more information. I hope you find this information useful.

A key point in using this material is to use a few techniques at a time. Once a basic understanding and skill level is attained then address a few more skills. Being a fine player is a slow process but a little patience will be rewarded with much pleasure in one's progress and pride in learning some new skills.
