Clarinet Lessons in South Chicago Heights, IL

Instruments: Clarinet

My beginning students often learn their first scale within the first 5 lessons! Once a student completes the Elementary Method, I will have them work on the Rubank Intermediate Method, which covers dynamic expression as well as major and minor scales. I will also assign solo repertoire at all levels, so students are always excited to play and motivated to practice. Furthermore, I often play duets with my students to teach them ensemble skills, rhythm, and how to have fun! Read More

Being a Special Education Aide, I understand that no book is a one size fits all". Read More
