Clarinet Lessons in Southeast Magnolia, WA

Instruments: Clarinet

My teaching style is interactive and utilizes positive reinforcement to achieve the desired results. I demonstrate often, and I also ask the student to play back to me what I demonstrate.

I also incorporate music theory into my lessons, so students are simultaneously learning to play the instrument and understanding the theory behind what they are playing. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet

For my younger students I usually start with major and minor scales tied in with simple to challenging etudes.

Once technique is handled, the doors to all genres of music are open. Read More

My voice instruction began in 2009, and the rest of the listed instruments I began to teach in 2012.
