Konstantin Shemetov

Konstantin is a North London-based trombonist and educator. Having graduated from Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Konstantin held the First Trombone position at the Moscow Provincial Theatre for over six years. His orchestral career includes working at the Moscow-based Ensemble of Song and Dance and Belgorod State Philarmonic where he played in a big band. As a freelance musician, Konstantin performed in symphonic orchestras, ensembles, rock bands and chamber music recitals. Konstantin teaches Trombone at the DaCapo Saturday School.

Konstantin's lessons are focused on working at basic techniques along with carefully selected repertoire in accordance with students’ aims and preferences. In his teaching, Konstantin specializes mainly in classical trombone repertoire, but he could also give a piece of advice about jazz and commercial playing. To get the most out of studying with Konstantin it is recommended not only to practice the instrument and to attend lessons consistently but also to be a real enthusiast of trombone and orchestral music. It is a highly-rewarding process, and the more one invests in their education, the more joy they obtain from listening to music and playing the trombone.

The first lesson is aimed at establishing guidelines for future cooperation. The lessons are provided in English or Russian and usually take place at the student's home or Mill Hill Music Complex. Communication in German is also possible.
