My method of teaching is based in the standard pedagogy of scales and chords(arpeggios). Those who are beginner and intermediate I usually start with the Rubank series of method books as well as easy to play popular tunes.

We could also try working on any of the clarinet concertos and sonatas. Read More

As a first step, I will focus on students to get good fundamental skills as much as we can. It is alway important for all of students to bring next level.
