Thanks to everyone who came out to my UMASS Graduate Jazz Composition Recital. It was a blast! I was reminded how lucky I am to play with fantastic musicians on a regular basis. I am so thankful to the musicians who made the evening possible. Also thans to my beautiful family for all their support as I finished my Masters degree. Click Here to check out a video clip of the concert.

Lessons/Clinics

The key to successful lessons is to motivate the student with positive feedback, discipline, variety of styles of music, and FUN!! I have been providing this encouraging and nurturing setting to brass students for over 15 years. I have successfully help prepare students for district festivals, recitals, BYSO auditions, and college auditions. Lessons focus on classical technique, jazz and rock styles, composition, and improvisation.

I am currently filling in my Saturday schedule for appointments at my studio in Milford, MA. Contact me at brian@brianthomasgroup.com to schedule an appointment.

I am also available for school/studio clinics. I work with elementary, middle, high school, and college jazz and classical groups. Topics include ensemble playing, brass techniques, improvisation, and trombone master classes. Contact me at brian@brianthomasgroup.com for more information.
