Clarinet Lessons Travis County, TX

Instruments: Clarinet

I love to encourage my students to develop their teaching, technical and artistic abilities. For instance, the first class helps me to analyze and have an approach to the students playing. Then, I ask about his interests or concerns regarding technique, musicianship or repertory. All this allows me to make suggestions that help create a program based on the student's needs. I usually include mechanism and melodic etudes, also a solo piece and a sonata or concerto (one movement or the entire piece if the student wishes to work it all). Read More

I take the student at his/her own pace. I try to be sensitive to the needs of the student not just his/her musical needs but his/her academic needs as my ability to continue working with the student depends upon his/her academic success. I will suggest a basic routine at home: Housework, Practice, Study, Leisure, Bedtime. Both for Practice and Study I recommend organizing subject matter in order of least favorite to favorite which gets the least favorite out of the way and saves the best for last. Read More

Ever since I entered the world of music during my middle school days, I have been helping other musicians grow in skill and enjoyed helping others understand music theory. As first chair oboe player, I was required to make sure that the rest of the woodwind players knew their music, and made arrangements to coach individual students that were lagging behind. I had the chance to learn how to play Clarinet, Oboe, and Alto and Bari Sax in high school. Read More
