Clarinet Lessons Midwest

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I choose music that will help students in many different areas. Students need some music that will help them work on fundamentals: long tones, slurs, articulations, and scales. Students also need to play music they enjoy. All of my students, in addition to the fundamentals of good playing, bring in music that is enjoyable to play and that they like. It is a good balance when practicing. Read More

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who is looking forward to sharing my love of music. I graduated Marshall University in 2009 with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education.

I was also given the chance to perform all around the United States and meet/learn from some of the most talented musicians from around the world. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Organ, Piccolo

I use the Alfred Piano series for most of my piano students. Woodwind students will use either Rubank or Hal Leonard series of books. During the first lesson, I will clarify the student's goals and needs and choose a book accordingly. I also add finger warm-ups and breathing exercises. Students are encouraged to pick a song from their own choosing to learn as a "fun-song". I try to cover these three things in every lesson, however I am flexible to meet the goals of my students. My professional motto is that I will do "Whatever it takes" for my students to succeed.

I also reflect upon my teaching methods from time to time with feedback and insight from others in a manner that leads to improved performance and development of skills to use a variety of methods and exercises in order to become a better instructor.
