Clarinet Lessons in Hicksville, NY

Instruments: Clarinet

I remember when I was in the 5th grade I was asked which instrument I would like to play. Since my best friend decided to play clarinet, I thought I would give it a shot. Little did I know that this was the first step in a whole musical journey including playing in orchestras, writing music, and forming my own Music Series! I'd like to work with students in a balance of what they feel is most important combined with proper fundamental technique. Read More

I have been teaching students of all ages since 2010. I have been teaching both in my home studio and at the students home, I have also taught in Public Schools and in Music stores. My goal as a teacher is to get students excited about music and have them looking forward to our lessons together and inspire them to learn more and practice. The Trumpet is my main instrument but as a certified Music Educator I'm comfortable and highly qualified to teach many different instruments such as all of the Brass Instruments ( Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, Tuba, French horn, Euphonium, Flugelhorn etc) and all of the Reed instruments (Clarinet, Saxophone and Flute) as well as Piano and Voice.

My teaching style is flexible based on the individuals needs. Some students require a firm approach whereas others are better off with a gentler one. I pride myself on my ability to connect with students and find what motivates them. My approach heavily relies on the historical pedagogy of every instrument I teach while also implementing improvisation and free play to excite and motivate. My students are strongly encouraged to attend concerts, master classes, and listen to live music as much as possible. Read More

I enjoy when my students show improvement through dedicated practice. I encourage this by setting achievable weekly goals for them.
