Ethan G

Instruments: Saxophone

I knew I would enjoy teaching others when I was a member of my high school band's leadership team. As I helped others, I found that I truly enjoyed the brilliant moments of success. Aside from teaching, I still enjoy performing on my instruments (sax, guitar, and piano) and am always looking to take on new students! Read More

Joe W

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Music Keyboard

Hello, I am a saxophonist, composer, educator and multi-instrumentalist. I began playing the saxophone at age 12 and from the moment I first touched the horn, I was hooked. After becoming more familiar with the jazz language, I quickly became further immersed in the jazz scene back home in Dallas. During high school I performed in many jazz festivals, competitions and local bands that furthered my artistry and understanding of the music I am playing. Read More

Michael A. G

Instruments: Saxophone

Originally from Dallas, TX, I was always interested in music but never thought of it as more than a hobby. I was a solo performer playing shows around the Dallas/Fort Worth area and in a popular Salsa band for years before I finally decided to get back into school and see where this musical journey would take me. In 2017, I graduated with honors from Fort Lewis College and finally in 2020 I received my Masters degree in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy from The University of Colorado-Boulder. Read More

Carlos F

Instruments: Saxophone Flute

For beginners, I typically start with fundamentals and technique combined with the, Essential Elements 2000. Once the student gets in track, I start introducing more advanced book such Rubank, J.H Luft, H.Klose and Feerling. For adults and more advanced students, most likely I develop a custom guide and protocol based on what their focus of interest is. I would provide the necessary information more related to Jazz music style and technique in order to develop a proper language. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Kevin C

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I officially decided when I made the All-State Band in high school. Competing, being successful at it, and experiencing playing in such an amazing ensemble, meeting John Mackey, and performing an unforgettable concert for a full audience with several standing ovations what such an impactful experience.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music actually does not run in my family. I have had a few family members play in middle school or high school groups such as band, orchestra, or choir. However, I am the first in my family to be successful at it and to pursue music as a profession.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I am not sure what my favorite style/genre of music to play is, but I know I love playing music by Percy Grainger. He writes so many fun and challenging lines for the clarinet whether it's for Bb, Eb or bass clarinet. I am just a big fan of his music.

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I also play saxophone. I decided to start playing it, because it is so much fun to play. Also, it has a lot of transferrable skills from the clarinet.

If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Hmm, I probably would have gone into the medical field to become a physician or I would have gone the math route and became an engineer. I loved the three m's: math, medicine, and music. I guess I can it four m's andkl include military, since I currently serve in the Army Reserve.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The reed alone presents a challenge, but I think managing voicing on the clarinet is particularly challenging. This is especially so, because of how the embouchure needs to remain fixed and the tongue position needs to remain high.

Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, I have had students make All-Region Honor Bands, make the top bands, and even place 1st chair. I've had students make the All-State band, make festivals, and have successful collegiate auditions.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of playing in the 395th Army Band and to earning the opportunity to perform at ClarinetFest this year. It is with a great group of people and I could not be prouder.

When will I start to see results?
For beginners, it will take at least a month before you start to see results. It may take up to a year to be comfortable with the proper fundamentals on your instrument. No matter how experienced one is, there is always room for improvement.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Listen, if he or she is potentially able to hold a clarinet and they enjoy music, I believe they are ready to start taking lessons. However, I can always perform a screening process to ensure the facial structure, hand size, and finger dexterity is there to set the student up for success as best as possible.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Look, it's very easy to practice incorrectly or to get bored. To make practicing as effective as possible, it is very important to have a goal, set a 15-minute timer, and take short breaks. Giving yourself a goal and a time limit forces you to be productive. Taking breaks allows you to not get burnt out.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
