I'll list these teachers geographically. If they have eMail, I'll link you right to it.
I suggest calling or eMailing these teachers to get a "feel" for their teaching style, availability, prices, etc.
I list names based on recommendations and word-of-mouth....
Many of these folks I haven't met or worked with.
Basically, I'm absolving myself of all responsibility ;-)
On the other hand, many of these folks I have worked with and I give them my strongest endorsement!

Los Angeles Area:
Les Benedict: "I mostly accept adult pros and semi-pros (or those returning to playing from another career) seeking improvement in technique, range, and therapy (focal distonia, etc.), but occasionally will teach a youngster with talent and a good work ethic.I taught Conrad Herwig, among others. A listing of my background and credentials can be found at: www.les-benedict.com."
North Florida (Jacksonville):
Marc Dickman: Dr. Dickman is Associate Professor of jazz studies and low brass at the University of North Florida where he also conducts Jazz Ensemble and tuba/euphonium choir. His versatility on euphonium, trombone, bass-trombone, and tuba in the classical and jazz styles places him in much demand in the Southeastern United States.
Utah, USA
Zachary Crawford:
"I'm trying to use the power of the internet to help my students to
collaborate more in their music-making. The tendency for most
private teachers is for their students to be disconnected from each
other except for the occasional studio recital. I'm having my students
make
recordings of their assigned pieces that can be posted online. My hope
that is in time, if I have a student working on, say, Rochut No. 18,
they'll
be able to go online and listen to a number of interpretations from
past students. Of course, I'm hard at work creating recordings of
myself to
start things out..."
