Brad Rollans understands that each student enjoys different styles of music and he encourages them to explore a diverse range of repetoire. Each lesson is personally constructed around the student. Brad wants each of his students to enjoy and be secure in playing their horns in a diverse range of situations. He strives to have his students play in many different styles of music ranging from the modern day Hip Hop to Baroque. A student who has a large vocabulary of music under their fingertips is better prepared for any new pieces that might be placed in front of them. He encourages a well rounded approach to music and musicianship which includes many core principals.

Mr. Rollans includes ear training in his lessons, which allows students to pick out tunes more quickly by ear and simultaneously improves their sight reading skills.

His approach to learning scales differs from the traditional approach of hacking through them for hours at a time. Instead, Brad incorporates popular music of the students choice in order to help them grasp not only the notes of the scale, but also the sound. The basics of playing the horn are covered in detail and a daily routine is constructed for each student which includes core exercises needed to improve one's facility on the horn.

Mr. Rollans understands that not every one wishes to be a professional Trombonist or musician and loves to work with students who just enjoy playing the horn. Brad tries to instill a love for all types of music in his students and hopes that each of his students can experience music on a different level then they had been previously; listening to a piece of music rather than just hearing the sounds. His lessons are fun, fast paced and laid back.For more information about private lessons please email him at at Brad@BradRollans.com

As the parent of a young musician your encouragement and interest in your child's musical development is an important part of their education. Mr Rollans strives to keep his student's parents informed about the progress made in each lesson and he encourages the students to perform in front of their parents and family.

One of the hardest things for many young musicians to do is to perform in front of people who they are familiar with. By performing in front of their parents and family the student gains experience in dealing with nerves and any stage fright issues.
