Clarinet Lessons Midwest

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Clarinet, Ukulele, Recorder, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience is as varied as my interests. I currently teach music and band at a local school. Since 2003, I have taught private lessons in Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio. My students have ranged in age from 6 to 18 and I have both started beginners and seen my long-term students graduate high school. I have taught Elementary General Music for two years. For five years I conducted a children's choir in my community. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Flute, Clarinet, Bass Guitar

I always ask my students what they want to learn; I then fit the program to their needs.  If they want to be a rock lead player, than we learn the scales, theory, techniques needed.  If they want to play finger picked folk music, then we focus on those techniques and songs.  I always recommend a strong background in theory and reading but I introduce it when the student is ready for it.  Nothing is learned in a vacumn.  There is always a purpose to anything I teach.

Instruments: Clarinet

I began teaching the clarinet in 2016 at Highland Park High School in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. 7 of my 8 students in 2016 placed in the TMEA Region Band, and another 2 went on to the 5A TMEA All-State Symphonic Band. In 2017, I had another student place in the 5A TMEA All-State Symphonic Band. I took up an additional job teaching at William B Travis TAG Academy in Dallas, where I taught beginners and 7th graders.

Instruments: Guitar, Violin, Cello, Viola, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Bass Guitar, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Oboe, Bassoon, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

As a music education major I spent a lot of time learning pedagogy, assessment, and evaluation. I've written dozens of lesson plans including those for students with special needs. Unfortunately my time as a teacher has been rather limited which is something I'm working on changing. I had one student who I was able to work with during my last year of college. We were able to make a lot of progress in not only guitar playing, but musicianship as well. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I am a classically trained saxophonist with over five years of teaching experience. I have worked with students ages 10 through 40, in many different settings. I recently finished my student teaching placement, where I taught lessons on flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, and trombone. I also have experience teaching jazz band, marching band, concert band, and individual lessons. Although my main instrument is saxophone, I actually started on clarinet when I first joined band.
