Corey Sherman

Corey Sherman has a high focus on the single most important aspect of the aural arts – the sounds you create! By means of the coveted Song and Wind method, popularized by the late Arnold Jacobs, Corey trains his students to become better musicians through breathing and buzzing exercises, and imitating great musicians.

Mr. Sherman currently serves the Atlanta Metro area as a tuba performer, clinician, and private instructor and currently serves as Principal Eb Bass of the Georgia Brass Band. He also served as Interim Instructor of Tuba at Columbus State University. His primary teachers are Andrew Miller, Demondrae Thurman, and Joel Mason, with additional instruction from Sam Pilafian, David Zerkel, and Eric Bubacz.
