Clarinet Lessons Manatee County, FL

Instruments: Flute, Clarinet, Recorder, Music

My teaching style is, mastery. Learning a musical instrument is a physical, mental, emotional skill which can be learned by anybody. The better technique you have, the easier making music will be and the more enjoyable! I combine structured technique exercises with “Fun music”, whatever that may be for each individual student. For students in school, school music always comes first. The first thing that we talk about in lessons is student goals. Read More

For beginning students, I prefer to use Essential Elements by Bruce Pearson. This is the book I learned from and have been using to teach.

As the students advance, I will pick or allow them to pick solos that will highlight their strengths as players. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I believe that every student needs different things and the teacher should have the ability to read those needs and find ways to let the student learn at their own pace and more importantly make the student eager to get in the practice room because it's a fun experience. I'm an active musician and I love to share my experiences with people that are willing to learn and benefit from them. Read More

Music is a big part of everything that I do. I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Music Education degree in 1992. I have performed in ensembles, for weddings and special events, and provided accompaniment services to other musicians. I enjoy the complexity and challenges of classical music the most, but I also enjoy the experiences of playing music that makes me feel good. Whether it's music for church, school, accompanying for soloists in competitions or just making music for fun, I love what I do! Read More
