Jacquelene Falcon - Founder and Instructor
trombone, euphonium and tuba instructor in Austin TX
Jacquelene not only performs in a variety of styles and venues, she teaches in the same dynamic way. As an avid music teacher she brings innovative ideas to the table by removing the traditional laws of music learning and stretching the possibilities to the max. Picture walking into your lessons and experiencing music like a gamer by completing musical challenges, upgrading and collecting trophies. The quest is not over until you master all the levels. She inspires, guides, and deeply cares about her students while designing custom-made lessons to suit anyone that joins.

She also keeps up a dynamic repertoire of styles including Baroque, Classical, Contemporary, Electronic and experimental projects.
