What People Are Saying
"Dion knows his craft very well. He is helping me learn to play in a more efficient and relaxed way. This method helps me with tone, flexibility, range and overall playing—everything is starting to become easier to play. I recommend giving it a try!"

"I’ve been studying with Dion for two months and I’ve seen noticeable improvements in my sound and endurance. I now have a bigger sound with less work. Each lesson is specialized—like a patient seeing a doctor."
— Shareef Clayton, Trumpet, NYC
“An excellent session and I highly recommend it. Dion's explanations and exercises really helped me understand concepts I know of, but put into a language that I could better understand and put into practice. The follow-up lesson summary and materials are really good value for money. Thoroughly looking forward to the next session.”
— Martin Smith, Trombone, Hobart, Australia
“It’s been a blast being able to learn from Dion’s clear, individualized plan to improve my playing efficiency. Thanks to Dion’s guidance, I have been able to increase my range and use my air more efficiently. I felt the change almost instantly—each concept has built upon the last and is helping me to make drastic changes to my playing with small, incremental adjustments to my approach. I recommend Dion Tucker to anyone who is interested in becoming a more efficient, powerful brass player!”
— Mark Braud, Trumpet, New Orleans
“I will forever be grateful to have touched paths with Dion. I found myself back in the late summer of 2018 feeling very unsure of whether my trombone playing career would continue or not. As much as I loved playing, things had progressively gotten worse over the course of a few weeks and I had no idea why. I spent about a year and a half beating my head against the wall and it was not until I connected with Dion online that I actually found some hope. It is very rare to find a teacher who can do and teach and be a genuine human and Dion is one of them. We did not work on playing changes or lip slurs or etudes, but on things most would consider weird or trivial. But it is through this initial guidance and wisdom Dion shared with me that I am able to feel optimistic about the future [of my playing].”
— Nazaret Castillo, Trombone, Houston
