Clarinet Lessons Arizona

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

For younger students who are in a school band program, I like to use the materials they use in class and to add outside material they find interesting. I find students are more motivated to practice and develop when we start with something that interests them, and then to expose them to other styles of music later on. For older or more advanced students, I like to focus on aspects of musicianship that will help them be successful musicians, such as ear-training, theory, composition, performance practice, improvisation (if the student wishes) and transcribing.

Instruments: Clarinet

Seeing my students develop as musicians is incredibly rewarding! As a teacher I encourage individual musical growth through a balance of traditional fundamentals and creative artistry and expression. I believe all students learn and process information differently, and I try to cater to their specific learning style. I truly believe anyone can learn to play an instrument with the right tools and encouragement. Therefore, I have always believed that the best students emerge from having a positive teacher who gently challenges the student to grow. Read More

I'm a fun-loving and passionate educator who loves working with students of all ages. Music has always been a huge part of my life.

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I take a personal approach to the students aspirations. The starting point for all students is, "What music do you enjoy?" This gives me a sense of what they are listening to and maybe even what they would like to sound like. I then sculp a curriculum based on the ability of the student and his/her wants and needs. If I am teaching a beginning woodwind player I focus on embouchure and sound production. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Euphonium, Mallet Percussion, Music, Acoustic Guitar

I believe that my students should have high expectations and have fun while completing goals. I make sure lessons are fun and progressive. I hold my students to high expectations so when they meet their goal they actually kill two birds with one stone (ex: figuring out a difficult passage in school music while progressing in technique exercises). I give students accompanying assignments to be supplemental to what they have in technique or to help with school music. Read More
