Clarinet Lessons in Scottdale, GA

Instruments: Piano Clarinet

For clarinet, I have developed a custom-tailored method for students based off the excellent instruction I have received from my teachers: Robert DiLutis of the University of Maryland, Jonathan Gunn of the University of Cincinnati, David Drosinos of the Baltimore School for the Arts, and Kristen Spiridon of the Savannah, Augusta and Coastal Symphony Orchestras. I believe fundamentals (air, embouchure, articulation, etc.) are the essential building blocks of a well-developed musician and I place specific emphasis on them every lesson. Read More

I have the most Experience using the following Method Books: Standard of Excellence, Essential Elements, Accent on Achievement, Instrumental Methods and many other methods. Initially (and throughout) I place a high value on performance fundamentals. I start with a focus on proper posture and breathing. Once this can be executed I breakdown the nomenclature of the student's instrument, how to put it together and break it down.

My goal for every student is to experience learning their instruments in an environment that is both encouraging and rewarding. I exhibit patience with the student knowing what it takes to develop new skills and I work hard in helping each student feel at ease in expressing themselves. I have used many different materials over the years, depending on the individual student's needs and desires to play their music. I do stress learning to read music notation so that you can approach with confidence any piece of music that you would like to play. Read More
