Hi there! I am a brass player, currently pursuing my Bachelor of Music degree (music education and jazz studies program) at the University of Toronto. My major instrument is the trombone, and I also teach trumpet, euphonium, baritone, and tuba. I started out performing in concert bands and other school ensembles, continuing my development throughout the pandemic by spending time with the Etobicoke Jazz Band, Oakville Symphony Youth Orchestra, and as lead trombonist with the Toronto All-Star Big Band. In 2021, I was accepted into the University of Toronto Faculty of Music and was awarded the Noreen and Phil Nimmons Entrance Scholarship in Jazz Performance. I now perform in and around the GTA with the U of T Jazz Orchestra and various other school ensembles, in addition to my own freelance work ranging from duo to big band settings. I am also a composer and arranger, performing original compositions with small ensembles, the U of T 12tet, and the U of T Hybrid Ensemble.
\n\nAs an aspiring band teacher, I am committed to spreading the joy of music through performance and education. In addition to studying music pedagogy at the university, I am honing my teaching skills by volunteering in high school music classes and teaching private lessons. I work most often with beginner and intermediate brass players, helping students build their brass playing fundamentals (posture, breathing, sound production, articulation, and range, to name a few) to help them play the music they want to play - whether it be music for their school ensembles or anything else they’re interested in. I believe that a lifelong enjoyment of music is the most important thing I can help students develop through their lessons, so I collaborate with my students to set challenging goals while keeping the music fun.
\n\nAside from my academic and musical endeavours, I enjoy pursuing my other interests as well. I play multiple sports, including hockey and baseball, and I frequently volunteer as a coach with youth associations for both of these sports.

I've been involved in music since I was a kid, starting piano lessons when I was 6 years old and joining wind band when I got into middle school. I've got experience with all sorts of instruments, as I started my wind instrument journey on saxophone, briefly played the clarinet in the beginning of high school, and finally found my way to French Horn in grade 10. I studied up to RCM Level 8 in Piano and Level 9 in Theory, and switched to French Horn lessons for the latter half of high school. I completed my Undergraduate at Wilfrid Laurier University in Classical Performance on the French Horn, and am currently working on my Master's in Performance at the University of Toronto. I'm fairly new in my musical teaching career, but I have given private and group swimming lessons for many years. I've visited high schools and ran music workshops as part of my Undergraduate Degree, and given a handful of private French Horn lessons to family and friends. I've started to branch out to other instruments of the brass family, playing tenor horn (very similar to the baritone/euphonium) in a community brass band and picking up trumpet in my spare time. Most of my expertise lies in brass instruments as well as piano, and I'm happy to share my love of music with anyone who wants to learn! As a teacher, I believe the most important thing is to meet students where they're at, both musically and emotionally. My job is to facilitate learning and growth for all skill levels, and to develop musical technique so that you can better connect with what you're playing. I believe you should always be playing music that you *want* to play, so I take a very collaborative approach to choosing and working on repertoire. Whatever your reasoning may be for studying music, I'm happy to help you hone your skills!","image":"a9d1f4f5-4474-4cfc-98d5-4cbcb9284ec2.png","name":"Evan T","styles":"Classical, Marching Band, Orchestral, RCM Prep, Movie/Video Game Scores","instruments":"Trumpet/Baritone/Theory & RCM Exam Preparation/Euphonium/French Horn/Piano/Piano","levels":"Advanced, Beginner, Intermediate","languages":"French, English","DiffInMiles":14.894653736,"id":"51140","city":"Toronto","state":"Ontario","description":"Hi, I'm Evan!
