Testimonials:
Sarah Parise, former trombone student, currently majoring in music at New York University.
“In the five years I took lessons from Mr. Menning, I had a lot of really great experiences. Not only did I grow musically but I had a lot of fun while doing it. His helpful instruction not only saw me through high school band but helped me make districts, honors band, orchestra, and eventually my college auditions. The things he taught me continue to help me today as I study music in college!”
The Parents of Kristen Lundine, former trombone student, currently majoring in music at University of Illinois.
“We were very happy with the lessons you gave Kristin and David. As the parent, I would say that I appreciated your patience and your flexibility. Patience with them regardless of whether they had practiced much or not, and flexibility with scheduling when they were busy. I also would say that thanks to your help, they both arrived at high school as "first-chair-in-the-top-band" caliber players. This has allowed David to be a very competent player for all of high school, even if he doesn't go on with it in college. It allowed Kristin to be encouraged to go on to pursue music in college and be in top bands there as well. “
