“I am in Dr. Brito's trombone studio, and the number one quality I like about our studio is the sheer amount of hands-on application during studio class and during my lessons. The instruction and pedagogy are very precise, to-the-point, and there's always a drawn parallel to a bigger picture in regard to the fundamentals he assigns us to work on.”

“In addition to trombone lessons, Dr. Felipe Brito showed me the incredible versatility of the instrument by helping me to attend orchestra and popular Brazilian music ensemble concerts with various music genres. He also encouraged me to participate in music festivals which gave me an unparalleled experience. Dr. Brito also encouraged me to go to college for music by inviting me to perform with one of his college music ensembles 'Mario Campos e Coletivo Orquestral.' Without a doubt, Dr. Felipe Brito is the reason I decided to pursue a career as a trombonist."
