High school students will work out of the Blue Standards of Excellence book for their freshman and sophomore year; along with a more advanced packet of warm up and scale exercises that I received from the ASU clarinet studio and my current clarinet professor Jeff Quamo. Junior year and senior year students will be expected to know at least 80% of the circle of 5ths and they'll begin to start playing etudes out of the Rose Etude book along with studying farther into the warm-up and practice packet.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
My ultimate goal as a teacher is to create independent musicians capable of creative thinking and musicality long after they have left my studio. While reading the notes and rhythms is obviously important, understanding why those notes, rhythms or markings are in the music will help students develop and learn musicianship skills that are often overlooked. Providing students with performance opportunities and sharing my passion for music help students stay encouraged and become creative and independent thinkers not just in music, but other areas of life as well.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I have been teaching the saxophone since 2008, to both kids and adults, beginners and advanced players. I always like to incorporate music theory and aural skills into my lessons as I believe those subjects are a must in becoming a well-rounded musician. I do not usually follow a book/method page-to-page but rather adjust the curriculum to each and every student. Each on of my students has different goals and aspiration and it would not be fair to them to force them to follow one book/curriculum. Read More

Instruments: Clarinet
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the clarinet is to make a good sound and to then maintain it, no matter the dynamic, style, range, and difficulty of the music that you are performing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child is ready to begin lessons. A child who is off to a great start on an instrument might benefit from lessons to nurture this progress and to cultivate a life-long appreciation of music. A child who is really struggling in band class or doesn't know how to put the instrument together is equally able to benefit from lessons. Because lessons are 1 on 1, I focus on whatever best helps your child and encorages a positive relationship with the clarinet. The only requirement is that your child is able to focus throughout the lesson and interested in learning, so that your money is going to good use.
When will I start to see results?
Most often you can see a difference right away due to the ability for the instructor to work on areas a student struggles with or has questions about. This isn't to say that if you dont see or feel progress that something is wrong. Progress comes at different paces for each student and that is okay. I personally have studied with teachers whose ideas clicked with me instantaneously as well as some whose methods took a month or two to really sink in. Both were just as valuable to my development.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I initially chose the clarinet because my uncle, who I look up to, had played clarinet through high school and I wanted to be like Squidward from Spongebob. My inital plan was to then switch to the French Horn after a year or two on the clarinet, as I also really liked the sound of that instrument, but I ended up sticking with the clarinet and fell in love with it shortly after.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing effectively is about making a plan for your time and being persistent. Make sure to silence your phone and other devices so that your practice time is focused on making music. 15 minutes of good, focused practice is better than 120 minutes filled with distractions and lack of direction. If you are like me, you may benefit from taking breaks every 30 minutes or so to allow any built up distractions to be dealt with and to give you time to get refocused while avoiding burnout.
