Clarinet Lessons Granville County, NC

Instruments: Clarinet

The more familiar the student is with the instrument the easier it is for them to be more confident in their performance. I encourage my students to perform in recitals and to compete as well as be apart of a band program as well. It is a great way to make wonderful friends. To this day I have made my best friends from being in band from a young age that I keep in close touch with to this day. Read More

My teaching began in the first year of my undergraduate degree. I was hired on as an adjunct to coach sectionals for a small school who later went on to get high marks on their marching assessment that year. Following that, I taught lessons to those same students. These students were able to place high in honor bands. I also have experience with teaching students who were starting on day one of playing.

Piano - I find that no one method book is completely standalone, so i incorporate several method books...Piano Adventures, John Thompson's course, Piano Pronto, and some self-composed music for my youngest students!  Intermediate-level pianists start choosing some of their own repertoire as well. Clarinet - For students who do well with method books, I use the Rubank Elementary & Intermediate books, and A New Tune A Day books by Ned Bennett. Read More

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music.

Instruments: Piano, Clarinet

I have experience teaching a few students throughout my college years, and I have always enjoyed the rewards and challenges that comes with private instruction. I believe that hard work and dedication is important to learning an instrument, but each student responds to different teaching styles and that in turn influences their motivation to practice. I enjoy both classical and modern music, and am open to teaching a multitude of different styles and genres. Read More
