I HAVE A SOME BUT AGGRESSIVE TEACHING STYLE BECAUSE I WANT STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN RESPOND UNDER PRESSURE WHEN PERFORMING. I ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO SET GOALS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ACCOMPLISHING EVERYTHING THAT THEY WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. I ALWAYS START OFF AND TAYLOR THE STUDENTS DESIRE OF LEARNING SO THAT THEY ARE EAGER TO LEARN AND HAVE FUN WHEN THEY PRACTICE OR PERFORM. I ALWAYS TRY TO KEEP THE PACE MOVING SO THAT THEY WILL NOT LOSE FOCUS AND STAY ON PACE FOR SUCCESS. Read More

My approach to lessons is one that is customized to the student. I don't believe in a one size fits all method. I use the same material and books that have helped me improve as well as customizable methods for each student. These methods include: learning how to process information effectively, how to retain the information and also how to excecute that information at any moment. I also help with the psychology of music learning and performing which is often overlooked. Read More

My name is Jenna G and I am currently a senior at Texas AM University (Whoop!). Music has been an important part of my life since I started playing piano in 2005. Clarinet became my primary instrument when I started band in middle school, and since then I have had incredible experiences both in teaching music and with performing. I am currently the principal clarinetist in the Texas AM Wind Symphony, but I have also had the privilege to play with the Texas All-State Philharmonic Orchestra in 2017 at the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Convention, with the AM Wind Symphony at Midwest in Chicago in 2019.

I have taught as a music educator in the classroom in five different high school Even though all of them became solid programs each came with a different set of problems. Read More
