Clarinet Lessons Robertson County, TN

Instruments: Clarinet

Each student has their own style of learning and I learn about it each time. For every student, I take notes on what we've done and what I want them to work on for the next time, and I send them home with this information. I am always eager to see my students progress and have things click, but some students are incredibly busy with other extra activities and I take that into serious consideration. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet

Although my collegiate educational background is not primarily in music, I have vast knowledge of music theory, and understand that each student has individual needs. My biggest method that has the most success, no matter the subject of training is "I Do, We Do, You Do". When teaching a new musical concept, it is most important for a student to have an understanding of the principle. I would explain the concept, and give an example by demonstrating the concept (I Do), however many times the student needs me to do so, and they would practice the concept with me (We Do), and once they feel comfortable trying the concept on their own, I would have them demonstrate the concept for me until mastery is achieved (You Do).

An emphasis on regularity and time management is essential to a student who wants to grow, so I assign realistic goals for each lesson. My lessons are most often dived into three parts: technical studies, etudes, and solos. I like to draw from music that exists outside of the clarinet and saxophone standard repertoire when I feel appropriate. Read More
