Over Leonidas

Hello! My name is Leonidas and I give trombone and euphonium lessons. For me, learning to play an instrument is something that should be part of everyone's development. I find this, because music and learning to play an instrument influences many aspects of a person, including cognition, emotions, creativity, imagination and physical abilities.

My main subject is Classical Trombone, but my interests and playing go beyond this and I really enjoy baroque and jazz as well.

During my lessons I focus on different aspects of trombone playing, including techniques, musicality, intonation, theory and rhythms. I use techniques from Kodaly, a well-known music education program. Enjoying to play, learn and feeling comfortable is what is the most important. Without that there is no joy in becoming a good musician.

I hope to see you soon to try out a lesson with me!
