Instruments: Clarinet

Each student in my studio is treated as an individual, with their own unique lesson plan tailored just for them. A typical lesson includes fundamentals (scales, articulation, embouchure), etudes, sight reading, solo repertoire, and duets....plus anything the student is working on in their current performing ensemble(s). I use a wide variety of method books like Learn To Play The Clarinet, Rubank Methods, Lazarus Method for Clarinet, Klose Celebrated Method for Clarinet, and a multitude of etude studies from Rose to Cavallini.

Music is an essential part of my life. I believe music is the last tangible magic left in society. In 1988, I got a guitar as a Christmas gift. Building from what I learned in school, I taught myself how to play guitar. At sixteen I started playing in bands outside of school. I continue to this day to play in bands. I have played in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and several towns and cities in Illinois. Read More
