Tuba Instructors

Students are strongly encouraged to take private lessons on their instruments. The following is a list of instructors with comments initiated by the instructors themselves. Long Reach High School makes no claims on the abilities of any of these instructors. We rely on feedback from the instructors to keep the list current. If you have any comment about this list, find some inaccurate information, or if you are an instructor that would like to be added to the list, let us know by Emailing Us.

There are instructors that we have lost contact with and perhaps are no longer teaching or have left the area. These are still on the list for now. The general rule is that if there is an email address listed, we have made contact with them and they are still teaching.

We really make no claims on the abilities of any of these instructors, but it is clear by gathering this information that there is an abundant amount of musical talent that exists in the area. We encourage you to take advantage of it.
