What about the UO tuba/euphonium studio…what makes it special?

• Environment: The studio mood is serious, but supportive and friendly. Studio members are expected to work hard, however, there is much opportunity for fun and camaraderie.


• Time and attention: In addition to the standard weekly lesson (1 hour), there is studio class (1 hour), tuba/euphonium ensemble (1.5 hours), two weekly breathing technique classes (1.5 hours), and one weekly basic routine class (1 hour). All of which adds up to 6 hours each week of student/teacher contact. When you shop around you will not find very many other tuba/euphonium programs that offer so much weekly attention with the professor.


• Results: Mr. Grose’s teaching is highly regarded. Many former students have gone on to fill positions in major orchestras, major military bands, music educator posts, and have been admitted to top music schools and conservatories around the United States.
