  with over 50 years experience, marc is accepting beginner - advanced students for trombone/voice/dijeridu/music, online or in-person lessons.

"marc's experience as a lifelong dedicated trombone player is worth more than he charges as a teacher. 
his understanding of not just technique and music theory but, more importantly, making playing an  enjoyable experience regardless of skill level, are all effectively conveyed. he often pulls out, from what appears to be an inexhaustible collection accumulated over the years, some beautiful tune to practice that becomes not just a great skill-building exercise, but one that adds fun and joy to the learning process. 
i now know many tricks of the trade that i doubt could have been obtained any other way, and the notes on the various mysterious forms of minor keys marc jotted down in my lesson book will always be a handy guide. 
i also appreciate marc's tireless efforts to promote various forms of social justice via music, and if you are so inclined, as i am, you will find marc to be not just an excellent teacher, but a generous playing buddy as well."
