Tim Rosie began playing the trombone as a 5th grader.  After earning his Bachelor of Music degree in performance from Cedarville University, he went on to study at the University of North Texas, where he completed a Master of Music degree in Bass Trombone performance and continued with post-graduate work there. While at UNT, he performed with the Symphony Orchestra, the Wind Symphony, Lab Bands, and the Baroque Orchestra among various chamber groups. His emphasis in early music there allowed him the privilege to study music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. He has also performed with the Lone Star Wind Symphony, served as a bass trombonist with the South Jersey Area Wind Ensemble, and he currently is 3rd trombone with the Philadelphia Wind Symphony.

Having been an active teacher for 20 years, Tim enjoys using his education to  help others enjoy music of all genres and eras. He has coached low brass students of various skill levels on trombone, euphonium, and tuba.  Additionally, his students have won auditions for regional honor bands  and for college admissions. Intentionally attuned to the diverse goals  of his students, Tim loves to help each student realize their potential  and thrive in the process.

Trombone and low brass lessons with Tim are available on Wednesday.
