About Joe
I'm Joe, a trombonist based in Whitehall, Bristol.
I studied trombone at Cardiff University, played in the symphony orchestra and the big band, and came out the other end feeling like the joy had been squeezed out of it. Too much rigidity, not enough music.
Then I moved to Bogotá, Colombia, and everything changed. I spent seven years playing with Suákata, a band fusing Colombian rhythms such as champeta, porro and tambora, with jazz, hip hop and reggae. We gigged in clubs, bars and festivals across Colombia, then spent three months touring Europe. Playing real music for real crowds reminded me why I picked up a trombone in the first place. You can search Suákata on YouTube to hear us play.
That experience shapes how I teach. I have grade 8 trombone and a music degree, but I care far more about you actually enjoying playing than ticking any boxes.

Maybe you played trombone as a kid and haven't touched one since. Maybe you've always been drawn to it and never quite got started. Either way, you'll leave your first lesson making sounds you didn't think you were capable of.
We'll build from there. Yes, there'll be scales and exercises, they matter. But always in service of real music, not as an end in themselves. Happy to work towards grades too, if that's your goal.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I’d highly recommend Joe as a music teacher. He explains things in a really clear and encouraging way, and made the lessons feel relaxed and enjoyable. He was patient, supportive, and good at adapting explanations to my level, which helped me improve my confidence and understanding quickly. I came away with techniques and ideas I could immediately use in my own music.
I know Joe from the Murmuration Choir in Bristol where he is the leader of the Bass section. His musical insight and ear for music are impressive and he has guided us effectively to some very good performances. Joe is always encouraging and available to answer questions about the music and has helped me to develop as a singer.
I've sung with Joe for over two years, with him as our section leader, and his teaching style is always supportive, clear, and relaxed, with great understanding of people's needs and a positive and fun approach.
