Clarinet Lessons Polk County, FL

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I have been a private music teacher for the last 20 years. I have worked for 15 years in a Big Band that performed educational concerts and brought live performances and exposure of musical instruments to kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high schools that sometimes did not have the luxury of a music program. As a private music instructor, I have noticed that many students especially adults who want to learn the saxophone, become frustrated as they spend all of their time working on technique before they can approach music.

My teaching experience dates back after my college years during the years of home private studying most musical instruments as I began teaching various instruments to group students at the christian churches.

They took the first lessons; they ready for the next ones. Read More

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
