I have two free online events coming up this weekend: 1. Encore Presentation: Jazz Trombone Improvisation Workshop Saturday, July 11 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern In this workshop, I’ll show you how to finally tackle jazz improvisation on trombone as an adult trombonist or adult comeback trombone player. We'll cover the "telling stories" approach to playing authentic, masterful jazz trombone solos, and learn how to practice to improve all the skills you need to get there. Register here ASAP: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_R9OO0RvpRsukUeuRv7u18g 2.

Hey everyone! I’m doing a free live online class this Thursday evening specifically for adult trombone players who want to get better at jazz improvisation. The class is called: "How to Start Playing Better Jazz Trombone Solos Without Getting Lost in a Million Scales, Licks, and Random Tips" This will be especially helpful if you’re an adult player who has ever felt like: You understand some theory, but still don’t know what to actually play. You practice scales, patterns, or licks, but they don’t turn into real solos. You want to sound more musical, confident, and expressive, but you’re not sure what to focus on. In this class, I’ll show you: **1. How to start playing real solos instead of just collecting more information** **2. How to focus your practice so you actually build confidence** **3. A simple way to make progress even if you only have a few minutes a day to practice** I’ll also talk about the practice approach I use with adult students to help them connect technique, ear training, and improvisation into one clearer path. This class is mainly for adult players because I’ll also be talking about a deeper mentorship opportunity at the end for people who want more structured help. Date: Thursday, July 2 Time: 8:00pm Eastern Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_gIzE1th7RHWw1nzvJQ_eWQ Hope to see some of you there!

Hi Everyone! I’m offering a free private lesson to a few people in this community, even if you’ve already done a trial lesson with me or already take regular lessons. Why? Because I'm looking to get a few more testimonials from students, so I can use them for promotion and in future posts. So here’s what I'm offering: I’ll give 5 people (individually) a free 30-minute lesson. In exchange, I'll ask you to do a short testimonial about any way(s) I've helped you in your trombone/music/jazz journey. So if you’re interested, please comment “Me” below or just DM me and I’ll send you the details. The free lesson offer expires in 48 hours (since I'm trying to get this next promo going ASAP). Only 5 available!

anyone know how to play this, or can anyone find a reference recording, cause i can’t
