Got a tuba or even a sousaphone? Want to learn the tuba or improve upon your current skills? How about the euphonium or baritone? I am now accepting new students for private and group lessons. I have over 20 years of experience playing the tuba and have been teaching privately for the last 17 years throughout California. I can help students with fundamentals, techniques, breathing, etc. Converting from another instrument? No problem! Need help preparing for an audition or performance? I'm here to help! Want to be ready for the next school year? Know someone who needs a teacher? Send them my way!

I also have years of experience teaching beginning band and can offer beginning woodwinds and brass lessons as well.

Online lessons can also be accommodated.

Ensemble Experience: Orchestra, Symphony, Wind Ensemble, Concert Band, Wind Band, Brass Band, Brass Quintet, German Oompah, Rock Band, Chamber Brass, Solo tuba, Traditional Jazz, Jazz Band, Drum Corps, Marching Band, Pit Orchestra, Trombone Choir, and Improv.

In person lessons will occur in my teaching studio located in East Sacramento close to CSUS.

Tubas are in high demand for many of the previously mentioned ensembles, especially for trad jazz combos and the New Orleans' style brass bands. Join the fun and start playing the tuba today! If you need help with instrument recommendations, I can help facilitate that as well. Serious inquiries only. No scams please.

Thanks!

Portia aka That Tuba Lady!
