What names come to mind of jazz trombonists who are open to teaching private lessons virtually? I've got a senior in high school that I've worked with for about a year who is I believe going to double major in jazz and something else. I'd like to pass him off to a jazz specialist who can challenge him in different ways beyond my expertise for the next 6-7 months before he's off to school.

Is this a student you meet virtually?
Edit: Really, the list would be great in either scenario (virtual or in person)
If not, and if I am not mistaken you are in Maryland correct? Lots of ex or current military options that may or may not have interest in teaching either remotely or in person:
Jim McFalls (Towson U)
Dave Perkel (Towson and Mason U)
Doug Elliott
Aaron Eckert (Mason U)
Javier Nero
Ben Ford
Matt Niess (Shenandoah U)

Thank you - it would need to be virtually as this student is located in a very rural part of Colorado. Do you know if all of the above are open to teaching virtually?

I do not. Doug routinely offers to talk embouchure virtually but I don’t know his willingness to teach jazz this way.

If you want to give him a challenge more specialized for jazz it might be more fruitful to find a local (jazz) pianist with whom he could learn tunes, learn more about harmony, getting inside the changes etc, and have someone to accompany him while working all this stuff out.
Or just any local jazz musician if there are any, even if it isn’t a trombonist.

Appreciate the suggestion but looking for a virtual jazz trombone teacher to replace my lessons with him. He still needs instrument specific technique support in addition to the theory and improv skills.
