I have a set methodology that is flexible enough to cater to each individual student. We learn exercises for basic technique, followed by scales and arpeggios, then we work from a method book to address technique issues specific to clarinet.

Music is something that can bring two completely different people together. You may see the world entirely different from someone else, but can be bonded by the power of music.

For example, I grew up loving punk rock and distorted songs and still gravitate towards that style of music. Read More

For my younger students I usually start with major and minor scales tied in with simple to challenging etudes. I do not have a specific book that I work out of, though if the student has one that they work out of I would be happy to accommodate. For adults I usually have the same approach, but we will focus more on a specific genre or style that they may want to emulate. Read More
