Instruments:
Some of the methods Ms. Goodwin likes to incorporate are as follows: for piano:Piano Adventures by Nancy & Randall FaberPiano Basics by BastienEasiest Piano Course & Modern Piano Course by Thompson for flute:Flute 101 Mastering the Basics by Louke & GeorgeA Tune A Day by Herfurth17 Daily Exercises by Taffanel & Gaubert-then I pick different solo pieces, duets, and etude books depending on the student's level for clarinet:Method for the Clarinet by KloseRubank Method-then I pick different solo pieces, duets, and etude books depending on the student's level
Instruments:
The method book I tend to start off with for beginners is the Bruce Pearson's Standard of Excellence. Dependent on the student's speed or other intial levels (i.e. Intermediate or Advanced) we will branch out to other progressive repertoire and method books, including solo and duet material. Also, contingent on the student's goals as an individual or as a member of an ensemble, we may work on assigned literature presented by myself or their Musical Conductor/Band Director.
Instruments:
For beginners the first sound is the most important basic thing for a horn player (woodwind or brass). For children I use easy melodies they remember. This is helpful so they won't get bored or tired easily. There are important transitional mechanisms in the clarinet especially that have to be overcome before starting with the scales studies. The books I use depend on the interest of the students. I have books for JAZZ, BRAZILIAN MUSIC, or CLASSICAL MUSIC (from Concert Solos to Opera overtures).
Instruments:
I have taught Saxophone and Clarinet for the past 20 years. In 2000 I toured with Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus as the Saxophonist. I've also worked as Saxophonist with Norwegian Cruise lines for a number of years. I've performed with hundreds of acts, including Bobby Mcferrin, Arturo Sandoval, Lonnie Smith, Thomas Dolby, E.C. Scott, Lyrics Born, and many more. Currently I am a freelance musician in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Instruments:
I have taught music lessons privately and I'm looking to attain more students via this website. While traveling, it was difficult to establish a homebase for lessons, but now that I'm not moving around as much, I am pursuing this as a bigger focus in my life. My main goal is that the student is "playing" music, which means that they like what they are doing when the pick up their instrument. Playing wood winds are hard, but if the effort is there, they can sound like they are as easy as breathing. That's what I want to give students: when they perform, everything they want to convey will come out easily and musically inclined.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
