For all students I access what your musical background is and what may be lacking from your knowledge and playing. I also ask what your particular goals and things you would like to learn are.

A great deal of music around the world is based off of the notion of a particular set of spirits or a set of emotions that human beings experience. This is a highly anthropomorphized approach to composition, which has been important in the establishment of human beings in the world today. I feel as though the world is saturated with compositions in this style and there is technology available today that allows performers and composers to engage in their environment in a more direct way involving statistics, information, and original sound synthesis from the occurrence of natural phenomenon.

My main focus in my teaching, regardless of the level of the student, hones in on strengthening the fundamentals of playing clarinet (air, mouth position, posture, finger position, etc).

If the student is more in the beginning stages of learning clarinet, I will mostly focus on these for the first two or three lessons before we advance on to playing music. Read More

While all of my students study the same fundamental musical principles, I believe that every lesson should be as unique as every person. That's why I always create new, customized lesson plans and provide individualized materials for all of my students.
