Private Lessons & Coaching

If you’ve hit a wall in your playing, want to fulfill a lifelong dream of learning a low brass instrument or composing, or need guidance as you build the career you want, I’d love to work with you.

I teach clients ages 18 and up from all walks of life—hobbyists, community band players, college students, adult beginners, and returning musicians. Whether you’re 18 and looking for extra support or 70 and picking up trombone for the first time, I’ll meet you exactly where you are and help you move toward where you want to go.


What I Offer

I provide individualized lessons and coaching rooted in fundamentals, expressive tools, mindset strategies, and sustainable musicianship.

  • Tuba Lessons

  • Euphonium Lessons

  • Trombone / Bass Trombone Lessons

  • Composition Lessons

  • Performance Coaching

  • Career Coaching & Mentoring

How It Works

When you inquire, we’ll schedule a virtual consultation to review your background, goals, learning style, and practice habits to see if we’re the right fit.

After the consultation, lessons are available in 30–90 minute sessions with three location options:

  • Virtual (Zoom)

  • In-person in my Parkville, MD studio

  • In-person at your home (travel fee applies)

The Investment

My standard rate is $100/hr, with a flexible scale so lessons remain accessible:

  • $80/hr — if you have financial need

  • $100/hr — standard

  • $120/hr — to support another musician with financial need


If you need additional support, reach out — we can find a solution together.

Testimonials

Dr. Pigott is an incredibly inspiring music educator. Studying with her has been one of the most transformative experiences of my musical and academic journey. Her passion for teaching and attention to detail has pushed me to new levels of discipline and creativity. I always felt challenged, supported, and inspired during every lesson. I am especially grateful for the knowledge and mentorship I received from Dr. Pigott.
