Welcome to my website.  Thanks to all of you who have sent me emails with comments and questions.  Many of us share common interests and I enjoy hearing from you.  Please send your emails to dsherman772@hotmail.com

I have had several requests lately from adults who want to take trombone lessons. You are never too old to take lessons whether you played many years ago and want to start again or you have hit a brick wall in your playing.  I am always happy to discuss your individual needs.

I have had several requests for more information on my electric trombone set up so here it is: Dave's Electric Trombone Setup

I always have pre-owned trombones for sale.  My inventory is always changing.  Please contact me with your needs.  I ship worldwide.

Here is Dave at age 11 performing with his first teacher, Sammy Sherman. Taking trombone lessons from a trombonist is very important.  Today, Dave has several students ranging in age from 12 to 57 years old. 

"I am always trying to learn and understand things that will help to make me a better teacher. I took a lesson recently with Sam Burtis, in NYC. He had just written a new book and I wanted him to help me understand some of his approaches.  The great brass teacher Carmine Carouso taught Sam about the importance of timing.  Sam had me take a pledge to always play in good time. I now ask my students to take the same pledge."  

 The Practice Room

 

Dave has a small workshop where he repairs trombones.  "I always have trombones for sale.  My inventory is always changing.  Let me know what you are looking for.  I ship worldwide."
