Clarinet Lessons Boone County, KY

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet, Euphonium

I tailor lessons for each individual student based upon their age, ability, and cognition. I am a big believer in repetition, and reinforce fundamentals heavily. For all students, we will work greatly on building good habits right away. We will do exercises for breathing, embouchure, and hand position. From there, we will work on tone quality. As we begin learning notes and rhythms, we will use method books such as Essential Elements, in addition to easy songs for beginners to get comfortable practicing and eventually performing.

Based on the student's level, personality, instrument, and interests I have a variety of ideas about beginning methods. Either way, most of my students do focus on scales, exercises, and songs. My philosophy is to teach the student, not JUST the music. Also, I believe in "comprehensive" musicians-ones that can perform, understand, write, and create. Read More

It was an overwhelming experience that is difficult to put into words, to feel the sense of belonging and purpose with the deepest passion I have always longed for and understanding what it meant to do something that one truly loves. I am currently a member of the Louisville Chamber Choir, a premium choral ensemble designed to present exceptional musical experiences that nurture community appreciation of choral singing through quality performances, recordings, and collaborations.

I personally believe in going as per the pace of the student. A progressive pace is important as well as a balance of not moving too quickly or too slowly for the students. Having fun learning music is also important to me. I like to encourage students to practice and I also implement ways to assist with making practice time more fun. The goal of music is for the student to enjoy what they are learning so that they will continue their lessons and look forward to lessons, not to feel high pressure and turn away from music altogether.

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who is looking forward to sharing my love of music. I graduated Marshall University in 2009 with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education.
