Clarinet Lessons Loudoun County, VA

Instruments: Trumpet, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I have been teaching private flute lessons since High School and fell in love with teaching in general right away. As my skills have increased, I've learned to work with private students in other instruments as well. Over the past 6 years, I have actively been working to expand my studio and teaching experience in any way possible. Since starting college, I have gained teaching experience through my private students as well as experience in the classroom. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

I consider myself to be both traditional and old school at certain times, however. I firmly believe that students will lose interest in music quickly if I always teach all students the same techniques and follow conventional music theory.

Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

For beginning students I focus on getting them used to the first 5 most common notes on their instrument through both beginner methods and technical exercises.

I am a very relaxed and chill person, even as a teacher. I will push you, though. I know that students' successes must be acknowledged and I do not hold back praise for my students. At the same time, I also bring their weaknesses for them to see. I aim to help them come up with plans to overcome their weaknesses and better their playing. At the same time, I look to see how far a student can be pushed. Read More
