Instruments: Guitar, Flute, Drums, Piccolo, Acoustic Guitar

First of all, I am someone who took formal private lessons for drums and flute from 5th grade all the way through college.

I am a firm believer that it's never too late to learn and that adults are more able to appreciate musical accomplishments. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, French Horn, Oboe, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

For beginning students I start with basics: learning how to hold the instrument, put it together, etc. Then when that is solid we learn a few notes. From there we go to the Rubank books.

Instruments: Flute, Clarinet, Ukulele, Recorder, Music

I use a variety of clarinet method books based on my current professional library. I also order based on student need. Method books are selected based on the students ability. Lesson plans are developed based on the students abilities, progress, and expressed goals. After each lesson, I email out to the student and their guardian, a run-down of what was covered with next weeks agenda and what the student should practice. Read More
