Clarinet Lessons Midwest

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

Watching my students develop and grow as musicians is one of the greatest joys I have in life.  I use positive encouragments while also challenging students to continually improve.  Music making is not a race, so I allow students to develop naturally and at their own pace.  I try to inspire, encourage, and motivate through leading by example. My favorite aspect of my first teacher was when he would play his instrument along with me. Read More

I started teaching while still in graduate school. I taught beginning piano to younger students, around age seven and up. With these students, I learned some very valuable lessons on how to keep the attention of younger students. It is very important that my students are enjoying themselves, and I never push a student too hard. I would hate to see a young child lose interest in music because I was not patient enough with them. Read More

I tailor lessons for each individual student based upon their age, ability, and cognition. I am a big believer in repetition, and reinforce fundamentals heavily. For all students, we will work greatly on building good habits right away. We will do exercises for breathing, embouchure, and hand position. From there, we will work on tone quality. As we begin learning notes and rhythms, we will use method books such as Essential Elements, in addition to easy songs for beginners to get comfortable practicing and eventually performing.
