Clarinet Lessons in Willow Spring, NC

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

I started teaching way back in 2001, my first year of college, at a music festival in Vermont.  It was a group clarinet & sax class, and it was so much fun!  I gradually realized as college went by and I began teaching more and more, that while enjoyed performing, teaching was my real passion!  I have been teaching both the clarinet and the piano full-time since 2007, and consider that my passion and my profession.

Instruments: Piano Clarinet Recorder Bassoon

I began teaching while at music college, and soon found that I enjoyed imparting my love of music to others more than I enjoyed performing myself! I have been teaching private lessons at home and in students’ homes for 10 years. I taught classroom music in school in the UK for 5 years before my move to the USA. I like to allow my teaching style and repertoire to be somewhat directed by the student, while making sure that the music they are playing is a suitable difficulty and teaching them a rounded technique.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Piccolo Mallet Percussion Music Keyboard

My teaching experience dates back to when I was still in high school. I would go to middle schools and give lessons. Now as a college music graduate, I have taught many ages including college peers. I think it is important to teach skills and methods that will help the student problem-solve and continue to learn even when they are alone. My students have done well in auditions and chair tests, and I always encourage both recitals and competitions. Read More
