Music is the Universal Language
The Trombone is God's Voice :)
Music is a language and communication skill, so you will be encouraged to listen, speak, read, and write just as you would in any language class. Therefore, vocabulary terms and definitions will be emphasized, but general music notation will also be introduced in the form of written music. I will help you every step of the way and your progress will be evaluated through periodic recording assignments, practice journal entries, lesson quizzes, a midterm and a final exam.
